WWE confirms no annual video game release this year

There will be no WWE 2K video game released this year.

WWE today confirmed that there will be no WWE 2K21 released this fall. Near the very end of today’s Q1 financial briefing, Frank A. Riddick III, the interim chief financial officer of WWE, confirmed that there would be no launch of a game this year. This would mark the first time since 1997 that a WWE video game won’t be released annually.

WWE Games’ Twitter account, which is handled by video game publisher 2K, wrote the following after the briefing: “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.”

Justin Lepper, a former writer for the WWE Raw vs. SmackDown video game series, reported earlier this month that there would be no WWE 2K21. He mentioned 2K is working on another game not developed by WWE 2K developer Visual Concepts. That game was not mentioned in today’s WWE conference call.

Yukes, the longtime developer of WWE games dating back to the SmackDown video game series on the original PlayStation, is no longer involved in the development of WWE’s video games.  

WWE 2K20, which was released in October for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC received lackluster reviews, averaging 43 percent on Metacritic.

WWE 2K19 roster reveal: First 75 wrestlers confirmed

The first 75 wrestlers that will be a part of the WWE 2K19 roster have been revealed.

WWE 2K hosted a livestream today featuring Lana, Rusev and the B-Team where they revealed the first part of the WWE 2K19 roster, which primarily consists of current day main roster and NXT competitors. Rey Mysterio will also be playable, but only as a pre-order exclusive. Rusev said during the livestream that he will reveal more of the 2K19 roster next week with different guests.

Along with a big roster, WWE 2K19 will bring back Showcase mode, this year featuring Daniel Bryan. It will essentially be a deep dive into his career, starting from his time as an enhancement talent on Velocity to returning from retirement this year to compete at WrestleMania 34.

WWE 2K19 will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 9. Pre-ordering now will enable you to play as Ronda Rousey and Rey Mysterio.
