AEW Game Reportedly Launching in September from Ex-WWE 2K Devs
Reportedly, the long-awaited wrestling game from AEW and former WWE 2K developer Yuke's bears a tentative release window of September 2022. AEW originally announced its WWE 2K rival in late 2020; in so doing, organization President Tony Khan confirmed no less than two titles were in development at the time. Khan could not offer much in the way of concrete details but noted that one project would come in the form of a last-gen and current-gen console game. Meanwhile, the other experience would launch exclusively on mobile devices.

While Executive Vice President Kenny Omega once teased a possible 2022 launch date, an official update about the project's overall progress hasn't made the rounds in quite a while. That could change in the near future, however, based on the latest batch of rumors.
