AEW Fight Forever is coming very soon.
After years of speculation, and a few moved tentatively planned release dates, Fightful Select has learned that as of today, the AEW Fight Forever release date is scheduled for June 27. Mike Straw accurately reported recently that he heard the date would be around the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door show. Fightful has heard from several retailers that were told a "late June" release, before confirming June 27.
We've been told that AEW does hold rights to the engine, so a future game release with it is possible. The working plan was for the Yuke's title to be a one-off with constant updates.
Those we've heard from that have worked on the game say that it plays very smoothly, and resembles WWF No Mercy in that sense. There are some limitations with the create-a-wrestler, and there weren't plans for a community creations that we heard of the last time we'd asked.
We were told that an official announcement about AEW Fight Forever would be coming over the next week.
