All Elite Wrestling, or AEW, had its first show back in 2019. While the company is still considered young by many fans, it is beginning to put out more and more content besides wrestling shows. Already, a mobile game entitled AEW: Elite General Manager has been released, and now the promotion is working on a console wrestling title known as AEW Fight Forever. The game was first unveiled back in 2020 with a short gameplay demo. Since then, details on AEW Fight Forever have been showing up sporadically, but it appears to many that the game is still a work in progress.The title for AEW Fight Forever was only confirmed in April this year, for example. However, despite rumors of a turbulent development, it seems that both developer Yuke's and AEW Fight Forever's publisher THQ Nordic is planning to release the game some time in 2022. Also, it seems that the title could be coming to Switch, according to a recent Amazon UK listing. The site recently opened preorders for AEW Fight Forever, and the listing show the game as being available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.This marks a contrast from when AEW Fight Forever was discussed with publisher THQ Nordic, as the Switch was notably absent from the list of consoles that the game was intended to be released on. Of course, an Amazon listing isn't official confirmation of the game coming to Nintendo Switch, and there are a few peculiarities with the information as well. The Xbox One isn't listed among the consoles that AEW Fight Forever will be available on, for example.
Also, Amazon has given the game a placeholder release date of December 31, 2022. However, fans shouldn't expect this to be the actual release date for AEW Fight Forever because a lot of websites, including Amazon and the PlayStation Store, will give games a December 31 release date as a placeholder when the actual launch time is unknown or vague. Currently, AEW Fight Forever fans are still told to expect a 2022 release, but this is subject to change.
Beyond a potential Switch release, AEW Fight Forever's listing also gives fans some details on what they can expect from the upcoming game. Online co-op, exploding barbed wire death matches, and more will be available in AEW Fight Forever alongside a nostalgic feel provided by Yuke's. Players of the WWE2K games may be familiar with Yuke's, as the company worked on titles for the promotion from 2000 all the way up until 2019.
AEW Fight Forever is currently in development with a release expected in 2022.
