It's wrastlin' time.
AEW Fight Forever was today detailed by Yuke’s and THQ Nordic and bills itself as “the tag-team event of the century.”
“A touch of nostalgia is just the beginning in AEW: Fight Forever,” THQ Nordic said of the title in a press release.
“Players can look forward to pulling off the most current wrestling moves seen on wildly popular AEW programming. This, in addition to innovative tandem offensive moves. Online co-op wrestling is going completely next level with Tag Team matches that feature sequences of team manoeuvres performed with simple commands. A long roster of the most popular AEW wrestlers, deep career mode, create-a-wrestler, signature AEW arenas, multiple match types and even some good ol’ fashioned, unsanctioned fun await!”
“One of the first things I did after signing with AEW was to ask Tony Khan to let me help assemble the best gaming team on the planet, to make the best wrestling game ever,” said the AEW’s Kenny Omega. “Well, we just landed the perfect finisher by partnering with global publishing and distribution powerhouse THQ Nordic for AEW Fight Forever.”
Yuke’s previously developed WWE titles for publisher 2K.
“I am both gratified and excited to have the opportunity to work with AEW – who is breathing new life into the pro wrestling industry – and the THQ Brand, with whom we have created an entire era of pro wrestling games,” said Yuke’s CEO Yukinori Taniguchi.
“Using the expertise we have cultivated over the years, we are taking on this project with the ultimate staff from the Yuke’s Development Team in order to recreate AEW’s appeal within a video game to the highest degree. We hope that fans will enjoy experiencing the most cutting-edge technology, and the next evolution, in pro wrestling gaming.”
