The future of the WWE 2K Series.

Ex-WWE game writer Justin Leeper and now YouTuber ViolentLee reports that developers involved in WWE 2k20 are now leaving Visual Concepts, the game’s developer. He suggests that those leaving are numbered in the double digits and are doing so without alternative employment lined up simply to distance themselves from the ‘stink’ surrounding the game. A little over a month on from release, WWE 2K20 is available for 50% off during Black Friday. Leeper also theorizes that the WWE 2K20 disaster bodes ominously for the future of the franchise. 2K Games failing to recuperate development costs will invariably result in budget cuts for next year’s title. Budget cuts mean fewer developers (alongside those running for the hills) and resources to polish and innovate. WWE 2K21 already announces itself as dead on arrival.
