AEW: Fight Forever is a wrestling game developed by Yuke's, genre veterans. It features spectacular fights, many different game modes and various mini-games.
AEW: Fight Forever is a sports wrestling game based on the license of an American company All Elite Wrestling. It was developed by Yuke's, a studio with lots of experience in creating wrestling games, having been creating the WWE series for years. The game stars many playable AEW legends and rising starts, including Chris Jericho, John Moxley, Kenny Omega, Britt Baker and Jade Cargill.
Mechanics
The game revolves around wrestling matches between actual wrestlers or player-created ones. Each fight is of a great scale, letting us use many different punches, grabs, throws and over 40 weapons (including baseball bats, chairs, fire extinguishers and trash cans).
The game features tons of customization - we can customize our wrestler's outfit, appearance, entrance, moveset, teams and arenas.
Game modes
AEW: Fight Forever supports singleplayer and multiplayer, both local, online and online co-op. Apart from 1v1 fights there are also many different variants: Tag Team (featuring tag maneuvers performed with simple commands), 3-way, 4-way, ladder, Casino Battle Royale, Falls Count Anywhere, Unsanctioned Lights Out, Exploding Barbed Wire Death. There are also various mini-games to play.
One of the most expansive modes is career, having us create and develop our own player, participating in AEW fights and stories. Winning competitions and completing objectives rewards us with points, which can be spent on increasing our character's stats.

Wccftech: 7.5 / 10 by Nathan Birch
Like the promotion it’s based on, AEW: Fight Forever can be a bit rough around the edges, but the game is also a welcome breath of fresh air. Fun, approachable in-ring action and an endearingly-quirky career mode largely make up for scruffy visuals and some missing content. AEW: Fight Forever won’t be for everyone, but if you’re looking for an alternative, feel free to push your chips All In.
GamesRadar+: 3.5 / 5 by Ben Wilson
An encouraging debut for the big new rival to WWE, with loads of welcome throwback nods to No Mercy and Fire Pro, and a career mode you won’t be able to resist playing through multiple times.
IGN: 6 / 10 by Jarrett Green
AEW: Fight Forever may have the audacity to challenge the current king of wrestling games, but despite its fun-loving spirit, strong sense of style, and solid fundamentals, it fails to execute on a level that comes anywhere close to its potential.
