AEW VIDEO GAME NEWS, NEW MERCH AND MORE

AEW will be bringing the playable demo of the "Fight Forever" video game to the 2022 Tokyo Games Show, September 15-18. Much like Gamescom in Germany last month, a wrestling ring will be set up at the THQ Nordic booth on the show floor for live AEW matches.  

Speaking with Sports Illustrated last week, Kenny Omega stated the videogame is in the final stages: "We’re coming pretty close to wrapping up. There is still the approval process, and we’re looking to avoid any net play issues so people can play online competitively. We really want to make sure that when people try to log onto the servers, they can do so without incurring any issues. people are going to be upset isn’t going to be in the game. Our roster on release was almost etched in stone, and we had very limited slots for very special cases, like Adam Cole and CM Punk. Generally speaking, you’re going to see a lot of familiar faces from the early years of AEW, many of whom are still here today. Having that original, year-one roster is important to us. We’re trying to retell that story of how we came into existence. Now that our game is pretty much wrapped, between now and the release, it will be hard to include anyone new. Even if John Cena walked through the tunnel and down the stage, we probably wouldn’t be able to get him in on time. That is why we’re doing post-launch support. It was never the game plan to purposely hold back, but it’s to make sure fans can be a certain wrestler, then they’ll be available as soon as possible.”

As of this writing, no official release date has been announced for AEW Fight Forever. But you can preorder it at all major retailers.

Dax Harwood tweeted:

Shop AEW has an exclusive Hikaru Shida action figure, new art prints from All Out, and a Top Rope Tuesday Limited Edition AEW Logo Pullover Hoodie (DayGlo) (Only Available Until 9-13).
