All Elite Wrestling’s console debut<\/a>. We don’t really get to see much of the game in action, frankly, but we do see Baker apply the lockjaw to her beau Adam Cole before laying in a beating with a selection of weapons, including bins and fire extinguishers. Spirit of ’99.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p>
Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the trailer, however, is the reveal of a selection of AEW-themed “mini-games” which see a bevy of AEW wrestlers bagging a torrent of casino chips, partaking in some kind of bizarre human batting cage, and indulging in what appears to be some rhythm-action calisthenics. Schiavone, everyone’s favorite earring dad, looks almost as bewildered by the chaotic action as he did that one time in 1995 when The Yet-ay and The Giant pulled a train on Hogan.<\/p>
While I won’t deny that the reveal of a selection of Mario Party<\/em>-style mini-games is most definitely a fun and surprising addition to AEW: Fight Forever<\/em>, I’m only really left with one question for the development team: Can you deliver a rock-solid wrestling<\/em> game? That’s all anyone honestly wants at this point. That’s<\/em> what the market has been craving, and that’s what AEW fans are hoping will be delivered in Fight Forever<\/em>. And with rumors that the project is already way over budget, these added extras are welcome, but in-ring is hopefully key focus here, as it is absolutely where the game will live or die.<\/p> AEW: Fight Forever<\/em> is currently scheduled to release on PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch platforms. There is still no word of an official launch date outside of its tentative release window of 2022.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":339605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[20858,21671,19112,217,100,278,20050,390,19124],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":3,"display_name":"Chris
