WWE’s 2K21 game has been scrapped, which was announced by WWE during their recent earnings call. This will be the first year that the 2K series of WWE games will not hit shelves since first being released in 2013 with the launch of WWE 2K14.

2K Sports, the developers of the game, recently posted on Twitter to inform fans that they will be making an announcement on the future of the 2K series of WWE games:

We will be sharing details on the future of the WWE 2K franchise as well as some exciting news on Monday at 7:00 a.m. PT. — #WWE2K20 (@WWEgames) April 24, 2020

WWE’s 2K20, which was released last year, was roundly criticised by fans and experts for having below par graphics, numerous glitches, as well as dodgy game physics, to name a few. The poor reception from fans was noted by Take-Two Interactive’s CEO Strauss Zelnick, who said that they would address these issues in future iterations of the game:

“While we’re disappointed that WWE 2K20 did not meet our expectations, both in terms of sales and quality, 2K is actively working with [WWE 2K20 development team] Visual Concepts to ensure that these issues are addressed in the future. The WWE brand continues to expand worldwide, and there remains a substantial long-term opportunity to grow our WWE 2K series by improving the quality of the game,” said Zelnick.
