AEW Fight Forever Will Have "Simple" Gameplay And Creation Suite
The upcoming AEW Fight Forever will feature more simplified gameplay and character customization than contemporary wrestling simulators like WWE 2K22. All-Elite Wrestling announced that it was producing its own licensed video game from former WWE 2K developer Yukes back in 2020, and the now-titled AEW Fight Forever is said to be launching sometime this September.
Even before that, AEW fans have been greeted with a slow drip of new information regarding the forthcoming AEW game, with small snippets of gameplay footage and in-game character models for noted AEW talent like Jungle Boy, Darby Allin, and Nyla Rose. AEW Executive vice president Kenny Omega has been at the forefront of sharing new details about AEW Fight Forever, promising features like a full-fledged campaign mode, multiplayer, and character customization options. He has also noted that Yukes is looking to recreate the old, arcade-like feel of older wrestling games like WWF No Mercy and Fire Pro Wrestling rather than follow the more complex, simulation style of gameplay introduced by more modern titles like WWE 2K22.
