WWE 2K23 Creative Director Addresses Competition In AEW Fight Forever

WWE 2K/AEW Games

Visual Concepts (WWE 2K23) creative director Lynell Jinks has commented on competition in AEW’s Fight Forever console game.

WWE is preparing for the launch of WWE 2K23, which will hit shelves on March 17 (March 14 for the deluxe editions).

AEW Games will also release a console game this year, with the Fight Forever ‘coming soon’.

Speaking with WCCF Tech, Jinks noted that he enjoys competition, recalling experiences earlier in his career working on the NBA 2K series.

Believing that AEW Games will drive them to make the WWE 2K series stronger, Jinks said:

“I love competition. I started on NBA 2K, I spent 10 years on it, and at that time, we were going against NBA Inside Drive.

“Then we were going against (NBA) ShootOut and NBA Live, and every year, we would look at what they did and be, like, “that’s interesting” or “they did this better than us.” That only makes our games better.

“Same thing you can say about wrestling in general — having competition, to me, it’s no coincidence that the storylines (in WWE) have been the best they’ve been in a long time.

“I think it’s because of that competition. It’s the same with video games. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’re gonna do that’s going to drive us to be even stronger.

Jinks recently revealed that huge improvements have been make to a popular mode for WWE 2K23, which you can read about right here.
