It means 2K21 is gonna have to be made for less money. “That means the budget is going to be cut. “2K20 is selling poorly, it’s doing poorly all around,” continues Leeper. They haven’t left for other stuff, they just quit because, ‘Man, I don’t want this stink on me anymore'.” “I’ve heard about double-digit people who were on the team who have quit. “2K and the people within it are trying to distance themselves from ,” he says in a Youtube video. That much appeared to be confirmed by Justin Leeper, a former writer on the Smackdown vs Raw video games. WWE 2K22 launching in October would've left it still likely competing for the attention of players enjoying NBA 2K22, Madden 22, and NHL 22.īy shifting things to March 2022, they face a much less crowded release schedule, though there is the possibility of being up against the AEW Console Game.This is a series currently at a crossroads after the horrendous launch of WWE 2K20, so 2K and Visual Concepts are likely to play things conservatively as regards PS5 and Xbox Series X.

WWE 2K22 getting delayed shows a commitment to releasing the best product possible, even if they have to wait a little longer to see the financial boost of launch start rolling in. Major updates landed one after the other following the launch of WWE 2K20, but the damage was already done and no amount of fixing was going to repair its reputation.
