WWE 2K20 was quite a failure. The latest installment in the franchise was plagued with bugs and lackluster DLC. The most notorious error, the “2k20 Y2K Glitch” prevented people from playing the game once the new year rang in.
Even now, 2K20 is the butt of many a joke involving yearly sports game releases. Considering the reaction, the decision to cancel WWE 2K21 isn’t too surprising. WWE Interim Chief Financial Officer Frank Riddick revealed today during the Q1 2020 investors call that the game had been axed.
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.

While it’s not known what the reason is behind this decision or what’s next for the franchise, 2K announced on Twitter that they’d address the situation this Monday.
