GamesBeat Summit 2022 returns with its biggest event for gaming leaders on April 26-28. Reserve your spot here!
The wrestling company AEW is working on a game with Yuke’s, which was in charge of WWE’s games from 2000 to 2018. Now, a trademark filing has revealed Fight Forever as the likely name for the AEW game.
Spotted by Wrestling Observer, the trademark is for “Downloadable Game Software; Downloadable Computer Game Software; Downloadable Electronic Game Software; Downloadable Interactive Game Software; Video Game Discs; Downloadable Video Game Programs; Downloadable Video Game Software; Recorded Video Game Programs; Recorded Video Game Software.”
“Fight forever” is a chant that wrestling fans will scream during matches that they especially enjoy. I think it’s a great name for a fighting game because it ties into the pro wrestling culture and has that alliteration that I crave so much.
The AEW game has no release date. When it comes out, it could serve as an alternative to 2K WWE games. When WWE 2K20, the first without Yuke’s as a developer, launched in 2019, it was a disaster. 2K took a year off, and WWE 2K22 came out earlier this month with better reception.

Yet many crave something different. And while AEW doesn’t have many eyes like WWE, its main show — AEW: Dynamite on TBS on Wednesdays — often draws around 1 million viewers. It has an audience that could show up for the game.
