When All Elite Wrestling, or AEW, was first formed, it was clear from the get-go that a video game based on the brand would be produced. In fact, it's been said that AEW has already invested a significant amount of money to create the AEW video game, which is currently in development at Yuke's, the studio that worked on WWE video games since 2000's WWF SmackDown! up to WWE 2K19.

Right now 2K Sports is basically unopposed in the wrestling video game world, so maybe one of its rivals like EA Sports will step up to publish the AEW game. Alternatively,
