Aubrey Edwards has confirmed that a video game based on All Elite Wrestling is currently in development, although it’s still very early days at this point.
AEW Video Game In Development
Speaking with Talk is Jericho podcast, the referee confirmed that she’s actually working on the game herself, which may not come as a surprise to some considering that Edwards previously worked for a decade in video games. This includes design work with the likes of Nintendo, Sony, PC, Xbox and mobile, and was recently involved with virtual reality gaming.
Edwards is serving as ‘Project Coordinator’ on the AEW game, revealing that “we’re very very early on. There’s a lot of things that we’re talking about. I talk to Kenny [Omega] a lot about what he wants out of it. It’s definitely a ways out, I’m not going to put a number on it because I don’t want the internet to get mad at me.”
It really comes down to what people want like Create-A-Characters are really important because people like having that creativity aspect or if there’s a character that’s not in a game they want to recreate it. Like people are making AEW roster people in other wrestling games. There’s a lot of Painmaker characters.
People like to be in charge of their own universe and that’s the thing I really enjoy about making video games. It’s unlike any other media, a lot like wrestling where it’s escapism but interactive. It’s like going to a movie but you’re controlling what the actors are doing.
The AEW game has to kick ass there’s a lot of expectations for it. People are waiting to here stuff and I’m not going to be the one to say it, I don’t know what I can say.
The AEW game has yet to receive a release date, but as mentioned, it’s still early in development. Presumably we can expect a PS5 and Xbox Series X release.
