AEW Fight Forever financial performance and development

Overview

Reports indicate that All Elite Wrestling (AEW) incurred a financial loss of at least $30 million related to its first major console title, ‘AEW Fight Forever’. The loss is attributed to significant production delays and missed deadlines, as the game’s launch was pushed from 2022 to June 2023, alongside sales figures that reportedly reached only about half of initial expectations.

Following these reports, AEW wrestler Evil Uno addressed rumors regarding his role in the project. He clarified that he was not a developer and made no decisions regarding the game, stating his involvement was limited to advertising and community building. Uno also noted that he and Stu Grayson were originally intended to be included via a tag team DLC, but expressed uncertainty as to why they were ultimately excluded.
