Back in November 2020 a series of AEW video games were announced, one of which would be coming to consoles.

Pro-wrestler, current AEW World Champion and co-executive vice president of All Elite Wrestling Kenny Omega spoke with IGN Japan about the new game. Omega revealed that one of his conditions for joining AEW was to be a part of the company’s gaming division.

Omega also explained that the AEW console game wouldn’t have a General Manager mode, a mode that was popular in the WWE Smackdown vs. Raw series developed by Yukes. Yukes is now working on the AEW title. 

Instead the General Manager mode would be unique to mobile title AEW Elite GM and will not feature in the console version.

In terms of modes that will feature in the console AEW game, Omega said: “There will be a campaign, and various other unusual modes, and you will be able to edit your own wrestler, too.

Omega also spoke about the number of wrestlers that would feature in the console game. While he couldn’t provide an estimated number for the roster, he did say that it will reflect the real roster of AEW.

I can say right now that we’re not sure of how many wrestlers will be available upon release, but one thing I can say is that the number of wrestlers in the AEW is growing all the time, and the roster of wrestlers in the game will reflect that,” said Omega.

On the topic of a release date, while it is expected that the AEW console game will release this year, Omega said that a release date will not be set-in-stone. The quality of the game will come before release date commitments, he said (which is what I like to hear).

I don’t want to rush it, so I don’t want to make a promise [about the release date],” he said. “I want the release version to be good.

The more I hear about the AEW console game, the more I get excited for it, especially as a fan of the AEW show. You can read more on the interview with the “Best Bout Machine” over at IGN.
