It remains to be seen what the future holds for AEW Fight Forever, but producers at Yuke’s are uncertain as to what’s next for the video game.
Fight Forever, AEW’s first console video game, was released in 2023. The game received mixed reviews, including a 6/10 from IGN.
In a recent interview with Video Games Chronicle, Yuke’s producer Takashi Takezawa was asked about a potential sequel. He said,
“That’s really more of a question for AEW. It’s an Omega decision, ultimately; he can probably answer that for you, and depending on what AEW wants to do — nobody knows for sure how Yuke’s involvement will pan out, you know.
“These kinds of relationships evolve and change over time as well. We can say that as a development company, even though what Yuke’s does in the future may be a little unclear, I think the one thing that is very clear is that wrestling is part of our DNA and will continue to be a pillar of the company, so we’ll keep making wrestling content in one form or another. But I certainly can’t talk specifics in terms of this series.”
In September 2024, it was reported that AEW was potentially seeking out a new developer for a Fight Forever sequel to replace Yuke’s.
Yuke’s and Kenny Omega reportedly had issues, and people in AEW were said to be unhappy that the game was “buggy” at launch.
