The two companies have joined forces to  bring developer YUKES’ latest creation to PS4™, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and  Nintendo® Switch. 

“One of the first things I did after signing with AEW was to ask Tony Khan to let me help  assemble the best gaming team on the planet, to make the best wrestling game ever,” said  Kenny Omega, EVP of AEW and former AEW World Champion and AEW World Tag Team  Champion. “Well, we just landed the perfect finisher by partnering with global publishing and  distribution powerhouse THQ Nordic for AEW: Fight Forever.

Using the  expertise we have cultivated over the years, we are taking on this project with the ultimate staff  from the YUKE’S Development Team in order to recreate AEW’s appeal within a video game to  the highest degree. We hope that fans will enjoy experiencing the most cutting-edge technology,  and the next evolution, in pro wrestling gaming.”

“Kenny’s incredible vision for AEW: Fight Forever is informed by his wrestling pedigree both  inside the ring and on the controller,” said Executive Producer Reinhard Pollice, THQ Nordic.  “Combine that vision with YUKES’ unparalleled wrestling game development history is resulting  in an AEW experience that draws heavily on the arcade feel that first won wrestling gamer hearts  more than two decades ago.”
