As for the game, Edwards did have a few interesting details. Beyond the game only being in the early stages of development, Edwards also hinted at some of the features she sees as most important for a wrestling game. Those features being a way to create one’s own character and the implementation of in-game interactions between wrestlers.
Ultimately, it sounds like the AEW game is years away from being ready. If it’s a smaller game, it could be a couple years, but if it’s a larger game it may be even longer. That said, AEW clearly wants this game to be made and is investing in its success. So far, AEW has been surprisingly transparent with the process, so expect to continue hearing updates in the months to come.
The AEW wrestling game is confirmed but not officially announced.
