Rumor: AEW Fight Forever Will Have A 30 Player Online Battle Royale Mode
Dataminers have found quite a feature hiding in the preload for AEW Fight Forever.
As shared by Twitter user LynchReborn, the game data has revealed that AEW Fight Forever will have an ambitious online multiplayer mode, a full on battle royale.
Called Stadium Stampede, this game mode allows 30 players to compete vs each other simultaneously online.
If you were a wrestling fan during the Monday Night Wars, you may vaguely remember when Yuke’s released WWF Royal Rumble on the Dreamcast. While that game had a 30 man battle royal, it could only show eight wrestlers at a time, so it was actually programmed to remove wrestlers in the duration of the royal.
But you may have noticed I was making a little joke here. No, Stadium Stampede is not under the wrestling match format called a battle royal.
Stadium Stampede is a battle royale mode, in the same vein as Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty Warzone 2.0, and others. The data reveals it uses battle royale rules, where wrestlers compete in constantly shrinking circle until a few wrestlers hit the end.
There are also some gameplay details that show up in the data, possibly in the part of the game that explains the rules. We’ve summed up the parts that seem relevant to Stadium Stampede below:
Our source also believes that this mode is the reason that AEW Fight Forever will have a battle pass. Of course, we can’t verify that for now, but this potential live service aspect would explain why AEW is eager to bring the game to as many platforms as possible.
AEW Fight Forever will be releasing on June 29, 2023, on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows via Steam.
