VGC’s WWE 2K20 review said the game is “hamstrung by huge technical issues”.
WWE 2K20 is the first series entry to be developed entirely by Visual Concepts. The former co-developer took charge following publisher 2K’s split from veteran WWE studio Yuke’s.
Japanese studio Yuke’s had been developer of mainline WWE titles for almost 20 years, having worked on the series since 1999’s Smackdown for PSOne.
It’s not clear why Yuke’s stepped away from its role leading WWE 2K development. However, it did confirm in a VGC interview earlier this year that it was working on a new, original wrestling IP.
