AEW’s upcoming video game reportedly has a release date.

Fightful Select reported on Friday that the game is scheduled to be released on June 27. Fightful said it heard from several retailers they were told the game would be released in late June. Additionally, Fightful reported that the official announcement regarding the game’s release date would be coming “over the next week”.

The game was originally announced back in November of 2020. The title of the game, as well as gameplay videos, were first shown last year. Originally set for release in 2022, the game was delayed, with Kenny Omega earlier this year citing the need to scale down the game's content in order to obtain a Teen rating from the ESRB, which eventually they were able to get.

When released, Fight Forever will be available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One & Xbox Series X. The game was developed by Yukes, with THQ Nordic publishing.

That’s not bad. Only a month away.

One theory I've heard for this summer date is they wanted to wait til the product got a little hotter and with their big summer plans that's mostly inevitable. Also haven't heard this much but I think once the ESRB stuff was sorted out a few months ago, it wouldn't have been wise to release it so soon after 2K23

Oh for sure not. Not just because it’s an established franchise, but I’ve heard great things about it. Don’t need the extra pressure.

Plus, if Collision goes according to plan and debuts at the United center with Punk, people will want to play the game two weeks later.

Can't wait to play this shit

 

[Chris]

I'm really hoping the season/story mode has a lot of replay value. I saw the leaked achievement list and a few were based on playing it multiple times so that gives me hope

I think what Kenny said was they just had to make it disappear either over time or due to accumulation so you couldn't have like an entire red ring mat from blood like he wanted lol

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I expect like day 1 mods on PC for unlimited blood and the likes
