Key Points:
- AEW reportedly took a massive financial loss of at least $30 million on the development of the AEW Fight Forever video game due to long delays and missed deadlines.
- The game, initially planned for a 2022 release, was delayed until summer 2023, coinciding with the Forbidden Door event, which increased development costs.
- Sales for AEW Fight Forever were about half of the initial expectations, contributing to the financial setback.
- There is currently no agreement between AEW and the developer Yuke’s for future projects, but AEW owns the game engine and could potentially work with another developer.
- AEW is interested in revisiting video game development in the future, though no confirmed plans or licensing deals with third parties have been made.
