"I have heard from reliable sources and I truly believe that WWE 2K21 has been cancelled," he said. "There will be no game this year."
He also pointed to the fact that this year's WrestleMania event, historically used as a platform to announce or tease the next WWE game, featured no such news.
According to Ringside News, Leeper previously shared insight on why WWE 2K20 suffered so many issues. GamesIndustry.biz has reached out to 2K Games for comment.
