Fight Forever: Shaky First Outing
AEW Fight Forever launched in June 2023 after a series of delays to PS4, PS5, Xbox, PC, and the Nintendo Switch. The game received mixed to average reviews, including an average score of 63/100 on Metacritic. The game was praised for its arcade gameplay, but criticized for its limited presentation, modes, and customization features.
AEW worked with Yuke\'s to develop Fight Forever, but this partnership may not continue for future projects. In September, it was reported that \"decision makers\" in AEW were strongly considering finding a new development partner. The belief is that developers were pressured to “deliver something faster than what it should’ve been,” leading to issues with the released product.
