WWE 2K Battlegrounds announced, will replace WWE 2K21 this year

Matthew Wilson April 27, 2020 Software & Gaming

Over the weekend, we learned that WWE 2K21 would not be happening, although there were some rumours about a smaller spin-off taking its place. Now, 2K Games has confirmed this, with WWE 2K Battlegrounds coming this year instead. 

WWE 2K Battlegrounds falls into a similar vein as NBA 2K Playgrounds, as a more social, arcade game with over the top character designs and moves.

Fan favourite wrestlers from different eras will be included in WWE 2K Battlegrounds, including The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The full roster hasn't been unveiled yet, but the game is scheduled for release this Autumn/Fall so more details shouldn't be far behind.

In the meantime, 2K confirms that Visual Concepts has been given extra development time for the next WWE 2K simulation game, which will have a “renewed focus on quality and fun”.

KitGuru Says: Given the state that WWE 2K20 released in, giving a new release some extra time makes sense. With the Basketball season delayed at the moment too, I wouldn't be shocked if the next NBA 2K was also pushed back.

KitGuru Games: Corporate nonsense has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy as game removed from over 170 countries

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
