Fans of pro wrestling have long awaited the day when 2K Games\u2019 WWE 2K series would receive proper competition on the market. Both All Elite Wrestling and the game\u2019s developer, \u2018Yuke\u2019s,\u2019 mean to make that happen upon rolling out AEW Fight Forever. As of now, however, there\u2019s no official word on when that day will come. The wrestling title initially bore a 2022 launch window; now, it\u2019s expected to arrive sometime in 2023. Fortunately, one person familiar with the game\u2019s development has offered insight into why the wait has yet to end. Kenny Omega explains AEW Fight Forever\u2019s delayed release Appearing on episode 59 of the Swerve City Podcast (via VGC), Kenny Omega confirmed the reason behind the long wait for AEW Fight Forever. The Cleaner informed the podcast hosts that developers are working to \u201cscale back\u201d the content to secure a \u201cT\u201d rating from the ESRB. Apparently, older builds of the game allowed things to get pretty bloody in the ring. Omega shared the following: \u201cI\u2019m not too sure how much we had to scale it back, but man, I loved it. You could make the ring look like a murder scene if you wanted to. I hope there\u2019s still some way to get a semblance of that, I hope we haven\u2019t dumbed it down too much.\u201d Ratings-related setbacks may also affect the roster of playable wrestlers, Omega added. \u201cThe longer time goes by, this finished product that we have is going to be a little dated.\u201d It seems Omega\u2019s biggest concern is that once the title finally hits, users may notice that some fighters they\u2019ve recently started seeing in AEW matches won\u2019t appear in-game. How much this potential issue will impact the overall experience remains to be seen, especially since details about AEW Fight Forever\u2019s release are still vague.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenny Omega explains why AEW Fight Forever doesn\u2019t have a release date AEW\/THQ NordicDuring a Swerve City Podcast appearance, Kenny Omega explained why AEW Fight Forever still lacks a firm release date.
