AEW’s foray into the world of video games has generated significant anticipation, providing much-needed competition for WWE games since TNA’s 2008 release. The highly-anticipated AEW: Fight Forever is set to launch soon, and fans can look forward to encountering a plethora of incredible easter eggs within the game.
Following its initial announcement in November 2020, AEW: Fight Forever encountered multiple delays, leading some fans to question if the game would ever see the light of day. However, contrary to doubts, the game’s official release date has now been confirmed for June 29th on all major consoles and PC. Notably, the game will also boast a generous amount of blood, adding an enticing element for many fans.
According to exclusive information from Fightful (via their paywall), players can anticipate encountering several “difficult to find initially” easter eggs throughout the game. Additionally, a notable detail is tied to the infamous Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. Players can experience a “stunning, brutal explosion” or an alternate version that emulates the somewhat underwhelming finish of the Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley at AEW Revolution 2021.
The surprises within the game extend beyond the easter eggs, as players can also expect “size-based characters and weapons” to add depth and variety to their gameplay experience. Furthermore, one of the most exciting revelations is that the late Owen Hart will be featured as a playable character, allowing fans to step into the shoes of this legendary wrestler.
The reception of AEW: Fight Forever by gamers will undoubtedly be of great interest, especially considering the recent redemption of the WWE 2K series over the past couple of years. With its promising features, hidden gems, and competition-driven gameplay, AEW: Fight Forever aims to captivate wrestling and gaming enthusiasts alike, offering an immersive experience that pays homage to the sport’s rich history while ushering in a new era of interactive entertainment.
