AEW’s Next Video Game Could Cost Significantly Less After Fight Forever Losses
Ringside News • • technology
Key Points:
- AEW reportedly lost at least $30 million on the development and release of the Fight Forever wrestling game due to extended development time and lower-than-expected sales.
- Fight Forever was delayed from its original 2022 release to June 2023, which increased costs and contributed to the financial loss.
- AEW still owns the game engine used for Fight Forever, potentially allowing the company to produce a new wrestling game at a significantly lower cost without starting from scratch.
- AEW no longer has a development agreement with Yuke’s but could use the existing engine with a different developer for future projects.
- While AEW remains interested in future video game projects, no new console game is currently confirmed, and there are no known talks about licensing the game rights to third parties.
