It has been revealed that Japanese studio Yuke’s will no longer develop any future games in the WWE 2K series, according to Video Game Chronicle.
The departure of Yuke's ends a near 20-year relationship with WWE video games which goes back to WWF SmackDown for PSOne (1999).
The franchise will now be led by California-based Visual Concepts, which supported the upcoming WWE2K20 game.
2K issued the following statement to VGC:
“WWE 2K20 will be developed by Visual Concepts, who have worked with Yuke’s on the development of the series since WWE 2K14.
“As we’ve continued to invest in the WWE 2K franchise, we’ve seen the Visual Concepts team display incredible passion, talent and commitment to the future of the series. We thank Yuke’s for their years of partnership and are excited to see what the Visual Concepts team brings to the franchise moving forward.”
