Additional Details On Upcoming AEW Video Game

Details are few and far between about the AEW game, but Fightful was able to learn a bit of an update.

There’s a story mode, which we’re told is being worked on to include some input from certain wrestlers themselves. In addition, we’ve heard that several of the Yuke’s team that helped create fondly remembered Smackdown vs. Raw games are a part of this process as well.

Speaking of Yuke’s, we know them to be the developer, but thus far no publisher has been announced. We’re told when that happens, we’re likely to gain more information such as a release date, and more details. Multiple people that we’ve spoken to said Kenny Omega specifically has said multiple times he’s determined for it to be a success and understands how integral a great showing could be.

Thunder Rosa told Fightful in a new interview that her prototype for the game has already been created and has been shown to her. AEW music producer Mikey Rukus told Fightful there was a soft deadline for some of the music for the story mode the week before AEW Revolution.

There are several wrestlers that we’ve heard from that haven’t had anything to do with the video game thus far and aren’t sure if they’ll be included or involved.
