Yukes, the longtime developer of the WWE game series revealed, courtesy of Hiromi Furuta, who serves as Yuke’s producer and senior vice president in an interview with Video Game Chronicle that some staff members will begin working on a rival wrestling game to provide an alternative to the long-standing stalwart and to “motivate the WWE 2K staff”:
“ [Yukes] aware that our creators are beginning to lose sight of their passion and confidence” when it comes to developing something fresh and innovative. We’re not chasing money or trends. We’ll go in whatever direction we feel is most interesting, combined with the passion of whoever leads the project. As long as whoever leads the project has enough passion, then I’m sure we will achieve our goals.”
