The subject of Fight Forever was delved into.
It was in the summer of 2023 that All Elite Wrestling, in conjunction with Yuke’s and THQ Nordic, released the AEW: Fight Forever console video game.
The idea of there being another AEW console game was brought up to AEW President Tony Khan during the pre-Forbidden Door media call. Khan stated that he does not know when a new game will be made, but he intends for it to be better than Fight Forever.
“So, I love pro wrestling and I’ll be the first to say that I’m not the biggest expert in the world on video gaming and I like to play games, but I’m not the expert, and there are great, great experts in the world about it and I tried to take insight and advice from people in AEW and people around the developers, and absolutely, we learned a lot in the making of the game and could take that in the future. I really believe to make the next game much, much better and learn from the experiences of doing that. But I also think that we’re having a great year with our wrestling and our TV, our pay-per-views and doing all kinds of great things that are core competencies, and it’s a great thought… I’m not sure what the future would hold. I do think eventually there will be further AEW forays into gaming, different kinds of games, mobile games, different concepts, different platforms. I can’t say for sure what they’ll all be, because again, like I said, I’ll never claim to be the world’s biggest expert on video gaming but, I like it and I know it’s a huge part of a lot of our fans’ lives. It’s really important to a lot of our fans and I’m trying to learn from that feedback.”
