During an investor call for WWE earlier this week, it was revealed that there are no plans to release WWE 2K21.
WWE 2K20 was plagued by glitches and visually, was a step-backwards from the previous release. Previous versions of the game were produced by Yuke, but for 2K20, 2K went with Visual Concepts instead.

Justin Leeper, a MoCap actor and a former writer on the game franchise revealed in a YouTube video that he’s heard from “reliable sources” that another developer is working on a “different kind of WWE game”. It’s hard to imagine what a different kind of WWE game might look like. What other genre than a sim with a story mode could you have? What would an open world WWE RPG look like? Maybe a mobile based idle game?
Fear not, we don’t have to wait too long to find out. According to the official WWE 2K Twitter account, an announcement is coming on Monday at 7AM PT.
WWE 2K21 Official Announcement
The wording in the tweet is a bit interesting. It states that they will both be sharing details on the future of the WWE 2K franchise AND some exciting news. This leads me to believe that it’s 2 different announcements, though I suppose it could also just be a poor choice of phrasing.
