AEW Faces $30 Million Loss on Fight Forever Video Game
AEW's inaugural video game, AEW Fight Forever, launched in 2023 and received updates, including new characters, until mid-2024. Following its release, fans have speculated about the possibility of a new game, contrasting AEW's approach with the annual releases typical of WWE and 2K Games.
Recent reports suggest that AEW suffered a significant financial loss of at least $30 million on Fight Forever, attributed in part to delays that pushed its launch from 2022 to summer 2023. The game reportedly did not meet sales expectations, achieving only about half of the anticipated figures.
Despite owning the game engine, AEW lacks a partnership with the developer Yuke's. However, there is potential for AEW to collaborate with a new developer for future titles or additional content for Fight Forever. While AEW may consider revisiting video game projects in the future, no specific timeline has been provided.
