All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Game: Everything We Know

When is the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) release date? Which platforms will it launch on? Trailers, roster, and gameplay...

The first All Elite Wrestling (AEW) console game is currently in active development, and while the release date is still a way off, we have a good idea of what to expect. Here's everything we know, from an early look at the roster to full gameplay details.

When Is the AEW Release Date?

AEW doesn't have a release date yet. It's still in the early stages of development. Recent reports from Fightful Select indicate the game is planned to launch in 2022, with the current target being September. Although the project was first announced back in late 2020, we've seen very little of it since. As a result, it's impossible to say how far along it currently is at this point. Despite the tentative plans, fans may end up waiting until 2023 or early 2024 to get their hands on AEW.

Which Platforms Will AEW Launch On?

The first AEW game is set to launch on the following platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. There's currently no information on whether the upcoming title will eventually make its way to other platforms such as PC or even Nintendo Switch.

AEW Trailers

Teaser

As Kenny Omega explained, AEW is "trying to reimagine the classic wrestling game style rather than trying to compete with the production values of WWE games. We want it to feel the way wrestling used to feel". Based on early footage, this means AEW is likely to fall more in line with something like WWF No Mercy rather than, say, a WWE 2K release. According to Omega, expect faster actions, smoother combat, and an overall quicker pace.

AEW Roster

The AEW roster keeps growing with new stars who have made an impact in recent months, such as Bryan Danielson, Adam Page, and Keith Lee. While there's no sign that Tony Khan will be slowing down on new signings anytime soon, it does raise the question of who will make it into the AEW console game. New additions could take months to add, so while most of the roster's original members are guaranteed a spot, several newer faces may have to arrive later as DLC.
