Kinda surprised there isn’t a thread on this rumor. It seems like the game is cancelled. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this? Aside from taking a break after SVR 10 and coming back for WWE 13, I’ve bought and played just about every game within two months of launch. That being said I can’t remember playing 18, 19, or 20 for more than a couple months after purchase. 20 had to be the most disappointing because I was pumped to finally have Chyna back in a wrestling game. I’m hoping if this is true a year off really helps 2K build a new game from the ground up, especially since they don’t have Yukes anymore.

Yeah I found out about it earlier today. It’s still a rumor right now so I’m taking it with a grain of salt but if true then this could potentially be good for Visual Concepts/ 2K. With how the games are released yearly, we see very minimal changes with each installment so hopefully this would lead to a nice reboot of the franchise when they decide to get up and going again.

Good. This game needs a complete rebuild. The engine was built on ps2. It isn't able to smoothly and effectively be compatible with the new consoles.
They should make a completely new game designed for ps5 and the new Xbox.

Well if what the guy who broke the story of 2K21 said is to be believed (and I'd take everything he says with a grain of salt), they're keeping the same developers and 2K22 won't be on PS5/Xbox Series X |

Hopefully this allows time to develop something way better.. If it's the same team with the same engine and the same design philosophy, the same underlying problems are still going to be there. Like, if you approach making a wrestling sim from the angle they are, which is a bunch of non-fans making a wrestling game based on a loose understanding of what happens in a wrestling match given to them by another guy who's only a fan because it's his job to be (shoutout Bryan Williams, you still suck), you're already up sh*t creek. They need someone new at the helm, they need a new engine, they need a new idea. Continuing with what they have isn't going to work. |

They more than likely can't use the extra time due to the pandemic. It would be great if they could, but this probably has nothing to do with how bad 2k20 was and everything to do with COVID-19.

The annual WWE games have been soulless for years. To me the only people who love these games are those that like to make their own WWE feds and that is cool if you are into that. From a gameplay point of view, this is a series that has been stale for the better part of a decade.
It would be awesome if these games had a two year cycle. One year you have your sim game, the next you have a more arcade style WWE game. This way you have two years to make a game, but still have a WWE game on the shelves in time for Christmas.
I would welcome a departure from the whole "sim" thing and just go back to making games fun. They have tried to walk a line between being "real" and trying to keep things kayfabe and it just does not work.

Thank God.
These games have been awful for years now, with some getting worse than the previous years. There's nothing new about them other than parts of the roster being added/removed every year. The graphics, gameplay and options have just become so boring and stale now, it's like buying the same game but with the previous years DLC included.
I miss the days when you'd anticipate the cover, wait for the cool trailer & watch them reveal 3-5 character models a day.
I miss the obvious answer of GM Mode. If they just added all the features from that mode to Universe Mode, we'd all be set, the replay value is there.
I miss the little things like:
- The practice arena in SVR2010.
- The weapon interactions regardless of where they were in SVR2011. Like how you could drop a table and have it lean on the bottom rope, then it would still break like a normal table if you suplexed someone onto it.
- The working creation suite... I have all these cool ideas for attires, yet when i try to make them with the current games, the images just bleed and blur into the inner thigh, then if i re-map it, it'll cut off at the top of the thigh.
If remastering the old SVR games was a possibility, they should just do that for the next 6 or so years, and add on a separate roster for current stars/returned legends (Like how you could import SVR09 into Legends of WM).
Maybe in that time they'll put some effort into a new & working game.

From what I've heard, if the non-sim game is announced on Monday you shouldn't expect anything like All Stars or the original SmackDown games. It's going to be totally new. It's also possibly one of the two 2K games that Sumo Digital signed on for.
We'll see on Monday.

I'm a little confused. The Q1 reports are saying they "don't have a launch for the game this year" but the internet people are saying that they mean they aren't doing a 2K game but instead they are doing a different game this year? Is there a reason that they wouldn't elaborate on the Q1 call that a different game is coming instead of just saying "don't have a launch for the game this year"?

I think even if a new game is announced, it won't come out in 2020. Likely early 2021 followed possibly by 2K22 in October/November later that year. While I'm a bit disappointed there won't be a new game this year, considering how troublesome 2K20 has been along with the COVID-19 pandemic I entirely understand why we aren't getting a new 2K game.
In an ideal world I'm hoping 2K will continue to patch 2K20 for those of us that are still playing it, while providing some DLC from aspects that they might have been working on for 2K21 i.e., new Raw and Smackdown arenas and a few new superstars. I'm not holding my breath at all for that though. I'm guessing this "exciting news" is some sort of arcade-based WWE games. I'm preferential to the sim-style games so it'll probably be a pass for me if that's the case but I'm curious to see what they announce nonetheless.

Is there a reason that they wouldn't elaborate on the Q1 call that a different game is coming instead of just saying "don't have a launch for the game this year"? They're not launching a game in the WWE 2K series. The game they're announcing will be a spin-off game. As for why they didn't elaborate in the Q1 investor call, there's probably a deal in place where 2K are going to be the ones to announce the new game. I think even if a new game is announced, it won't come out in 2020. Likely early 2021 followed possibly by 2K22 in October/November later that year. This is entirely possible, and likely, but from what I've gathered, the game they're going to announce has been in development from a while and some devs are actually working from home, so there's a possibility this game is far enough along that the devs can work remotely and push the game out this year. |

Battlegrounds is an easy pass for me, but hope people into that kind of game are happy with it. Hopefully the additional time will help make the next 2K sim game significantly better than 2K20.

considering the amount of releases 2K21 would have a smaller roster so it's better they skip a year.
