WWE 2K20 was a fiasco for 2K, so it canceled the 2020 installment and has decided to launch the WWE 2K Battlegrounds game instead of WWE 2K21, with a completely different approach. This cancellation has caused a 2018 game to regain some life, mainly because players unhappy with WWE 2K20 have returned to WWE 2K19, which is also considered one of the best in 2K Sports. The company has confirmed that contrary to expectations, the servers will remain open.
Through Twitter, the official WWE 2K profile announced that we did not pay attention to some warnings that were appearing when starting the game and that they told us that the WWE 2K19 servers were going to close on May 31.
Please disregard the in-game message stating that the WWE 2K19 servers are coming down on May 31. They will remain open for the foreseeable future.

The main reason for this decision may be due to what we discussed before, the number of players who have returned (or who have not even left) WWE 2K19, in addition to the decision not to launch WWE 2K21. In any case, it is positive news that fans are thanking 2K in the comments for the same tweet
