There’s some good stuff here, and although things can get a bit repetitive it’s a solid foundation should AEW follow up with another game.

Plans of a game for the promotion were reported as early as October 2019 and officially announced in November 2020, with the game being the first wrestling game developed by Yuke's since 2018 with WWE 2K19, before the studio ended its working relationship with WWE.

There currently isn’t a way to share your creations with others online, so if you want to make CAWs of all the guys missing from the roster… you’re going to have to go old-school and find some guides on the net. Road To EliteWhat is here is OK, but it does feel a little bit… sparse, and the absence of a belt creator in 2023 is unforgivable.

Fight Forever has a slew of mini-games to play too. They range from quizzes, to ‘collect the most’ challenges, to a game where you hit wrestlers as if they are a baseball.

Certain wrestlers have skills that change up the way they fight, allowing them to do things others aren’t able to. a b c Stewart, Marcus (June 28, 2023). "AEW: Fight Forever Review". Game Informer .
