All Elite Wrestling’s game will feature an all-star cast of professional wrestlers from Tony Khan’s company, and Kenny Omega himself is the creative director of the title. Ahead of this announcement, he also made a statement about the upcoming video game, stating:
“When I first signed with AEW, Tony Khan gave me the opportunity to assemble the best gaming team that understands and respects professional wrestlingoto make the best wrestling games ever. Thanks to our incredible collaboration with Geta, YUKE’s, and THQ Nordic, a new era of professional wrestling gaming is quickly approaching. AEW: Fight Forever has exceeded my highest expectations, and I’m confident that June 29 will be a momentous day for wrestling fans and gamers alike.”
