AEW News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

AEW Fight Foreveris finally adding Samoa Joe, a former world champion, in its next DLC season. Even after AEW Fight Forever launched to mixed reviews last June, developer Yuke’s and publisher THQ Nordic have been adding new match types and playable wrestlers in its past three DLC seasons. It started with the tag team FTR shortly after the game’s release, followed by notable AEW performers like Anthony Bowens and Max Caster of The Acclaimed and currently reigning AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm.

AEW Fight Forever has finally added former Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter to its playable roster after almost a year. Despite the game receiving a mixed reception at launch, the companies behind AEW Fight Forever remain committed to adding new content to the game through DLC Season waves. This includes new game modes like the online multiplayer Stadium Stampede and tournament-style “Beat the Elite.”

WWE 2K24 fans discovered that AEW star Kenny Omega's entrance is available for use in the game. WWE 2K24 allows players to create their own wrestlers, oftentimes recreating wrestlers from other promotions using the preset moves and entrances available.

AEW: Fight Forever’s latest batch of DLC is now out, adding three popular wrestlers as playable characters alongside a wealth of other exciting content. Publisher THQ Nordic and former WWE 2K developer Yuke’s have been building on AEW: Fight Forever since the arcade-style wrestling simulator first launched last June, such as adding the multiplayer Stadium Stampede mode back in August. “Beat the Elite” followed in December, pitting players against 10 opponents before they go head-to-head with one of The Elite themselves.

One of the biggest ironies for AEW Fight Forever is that the game was in production for so long that not everyone within the game is the same as they were when development started. For example, multiple members of the game’s roster are now not a part of the title, like Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill. Then, in the case of Toni Storm, she’s not exactly the “same person” she was when work started on her character model. We’ll explain as we show you the reveal video for Toni Storm while you watch a narration by Toni Storm!

It’s been an interesting time to be a fan of All Elite Wrestling, as 2023 has been full of highs and lows for the brand. Typically, the “lows” came from haters of the company and many people’s attempts to try and “lower the brand.” But even with these assaults from all sides, the wrestling company had many highlights to be proud of, including the arrival of AEW Fight Forever! The game is the company’s first video game on consoles and PCs, and they’ve been doing their best to bring plenty of content to players without forcing them to buy a new game every year.

AEW: Fight Forever gets a new gameplay mode today, but some players are upset that they have to pay for it.

AEW Fight Forever’s second season of content is here, launching with the Dynamite pack. The first season brought with it a half-dozen new roster members alongside new content for mini-games, while the second season begins with the company’s most successful homegrown tag team, The Acclaimed as its showcase DLC alongside the 2022 AEW Dynamite stage. The Acclaimed’s Anthony Bowens and Max Caster have been known as DLC characters due to their X posts over the last few months about being scanned for the game – making their gaming debuts here in Fight Forever.

Developer Yuke’s and publisher THQ Nordic have announced the second wave of DLC coming to professional wrestling game AEW: Fight Forever. Kicking things off for the game’s second season of post-launch content is the tag team duo of Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, better known as The Acclaimed. Check out the trailer below.

All Elite Wrestling is having yet another big week in its promotions life, including some welcome news on the video game front via AEW Fight Forever. By that, we speak of how Season 2 of the game’s DLC has arrived, and with its arrival comes the debut of The Acclaimed! Max Caster and Anthony Bowens are ready to make the “mic drop” and rap their way to victory over all the other AEW competitors, and so if you’ve been waiting for your chance to “scissor your way to victory,” this is your chance. Yes, we’re hyping them up quite a bit, but this is a very special team in AEW’s history.

Earlier this evening, wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) teamed up with Sega to promote upcoming game Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, in the wildest possible way. They got together some of the nerdiest wrestlers possible and put on a Like a Dragon-themed street fight complete with heat actions, improvised weapons, and cosplay. And it absolutely ruled.

So technically, this is a kind of follow-up story to one we did earlier in the month. It all started when the ONE Flyweight Champion, Demetrious Johnson, was doing an interview, and he admitted that he was a gamer and loved Street Fighter 6. But when that happened, a certain “rival” from another company was brought up, none other than Kenny Omega from All Elite Wrestling. He is not only a gamer but is famous for his love of Capcom’s franchise, has helped promote it in the past via a live-action trailer, and is known for his intense skills with the game.

AEW: Fight Forever has had a few DLC packs already, including the legendary tag team of FTR and “Limitless” Keith Lee and it’s set to get a pair of very different wrestlers soon. Hook and Danhausen are set to make their video game debuts soon, with the Xbox, PlayStation, and PC incarnations of Fight Forever getting them on September 28 while Switch owners can download them on October 5. Each man has had their own unique journey to get to this point. With Hook as the son of AEW commentator, Team Taz leader, and ECW legend Taz and Danhausen as someone who gained a lot of traction through his indie work and then also appearing with Conan ‘O Brien – giving him a unique appeal with an audience that may not normally check out pro wrestling or a wrestling game otherwise.

AEW Fight Forever might have come out a few months ago, but much like the wrestling company itself, the game finds a way to be still talked about. While the title wasn’t the greatest wrestling game ever, it did have lots of heart and merit, and the team worked hard to deliver a fun wrestling game experience that many could enjoy and many have. One of the key things that they did for the game was have a nice set of DLC releases that would come post-launch and bring more characters into the title. Next week, another DLC pack will arrive. It’s time to send Hookhausen!

There used to be a time when celebrities rarely, if ever, admitted that they played video games or things like Dungeons & Dragons. But now, it can be a badge of honor, and many people flaunt their gaming experiences, whether it be virtual or tabletop, so that their fans know it’s cool to be at a certain level in the gaming world. That brings us to a very special challenge laid out by MMA superstar Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, who is the current ONE Flyweight Champion, against AEW wrestler Kenny Omega, with the “challenge” being Street Fighter 6. Yes, this is real.

Developer Yuke’s has released the first major DLC for pro-wrestling game AEW: Fight Forever. The DLC, titled the Limitless Bunny Pack, brings with it two new additions to the game’s roster—The Bunny and Keith Lee. The DLC is available as part of the season pass, as well as on its own.

When it comes to wrestling games, one of the most important things they can do is continue to add to their main roster via updates and DLC content. Given roster sizes, it’s understandable that they can’t put everyone in the game at the start. But by using things like a season pass or little DLC fighter packs, they can add more characters to the title and thus give gamers more options on who they can play as. For AEW Fight Forever, the game has just dropped one such DLC pack, and it features two very different wrestlers and some mini-games to boot!

This weekend, All Elite Wrestling will be hosting not only their largest event ever, but what will likely go down as one of the largest events in pro wrestling history: All In at Wembley Stadium in London.

As we noted yesterday, we’re in the midst of one of the biggest weeks in All Elite Wrestling history. Tonight is the final AEW Dynamite show before their biggest PPV ever via All In London, and the head of the company, Tony Khan, has been making all sorts of statements to hype up the event. For example, yesterday, he held a press conference breaking down the event and showcasing how excited the company was about what was about to happen. But then, just before the new day dawned, he dropped another announcement about AEW Fight Forever that fans will want to hear.

AEW Fight Forever will get its promised 30-player mode this week, just as the Steam version’s average player count has dropped below 30 for the first time.

Developer Yuke’s, THQ Nordic and All Elite Wrestling have announced that the new Stadium Stampede battle royale mode will be coming to pro-wrestling game AEW: Fight Forever in the next 24 hours.

We’re a few days away from the start of one of the most important weeks in the history of All Elite Wrestling. We say that because the wrestling company is about to have its biggest wrestling show ever, and then a week later, they will have another big event on a separate continent. AEW All In London will host over 82,000 people, making it the largest paid attendance event in wrestling history. To celebrate that event, AEW President Tony Khan did a press event this morning, and in it, he talked about AEW Fight Forever and how it was doing.

Video games can be expensive. We know it, and you know it. Things only got a bit pricier when this latest generation of console platforms dropped into the marketplace. Now for a new AAA title on the latest-generation console platforms, you’re looking at $69.99. Whereas before, you only had to pay $59.99. So knowing what games to pick up at launch and what video games are better left putting back when discounts pop up is crucial for our bank accounts. Fortunately, there are plenty of sales to be had, such as this latest batch of discounts that landed on the Xbox console.

To say that it’s been a busy month or so for All Elite Wrestling would be a grand understatement. It’d actually be more appropriate to say that they’ve been doing their best to fire on all cylinders to keep growing the company and reaching out to fans, new and old, with exciting experiences. One of the biggest experiences of the bunch that they’ve been focusing on is the AEW Fight Forever video game that launched at the end of June. The title was the product of many years of work, and gamers seemed to have liked it, and critics felt it was a decent first attempt by the still-young wrestling company.

It’s hard to believe that AEW Fight Forever has almost been out for a month already. The reason that’s hard to believe is that the game had a troubled development history due largely to the ESRB, and many wondered if it would ever arrive. Sure enough, when it did arrive, it was a “mixed experience,” depending on who you talked to. Those who focused on the gameplay have fond feelings for it, as it reminds them of the wrestling games of old. Those looking for a “more robust experience” were left a little disappointed by the results.

While its development was not the easiest for various reasons, AEW Fight Forever was finally released in late June, and those who have played it have enjoyed it. They dug the arcade-style gameplay, the hilarity that some matches can have, and more. But most importantly, they enjoy being able to play as many of their favorite members of the AEW roster, including characters like Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Jon Moxley, Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Jade Cargill, and more. But as many fairly note, a large part of the AEW isn’t in the game, including many who are “current stars” with the company.

AEW: Fight Forever has finally arrived, bringing the WWE’s biggest competitor to the world of video games for the first time. The game features big stars from the franchise, from icons like Chris Jericho to younger stars like Darby Allin; fans are in for a fun wrestling experience on consoles, especially if they enjoy a bit of ultra-violence in their wrestling game.
