The Amazon UK post lists December 31, 2022 as the placeholder release date, with the gamelisted to be available on PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. There was a landing page for a Switch version, but that link is now dead. THQ Nordic is named as the distributor. Fightful Select previously reported that AEW is aiming to release the game in late September.
Recent updates on AEW Fight Forever have been few and far between. During a Twitch stream, Kenny Omega confirmed that the publisher will be THQ Nordic. His comments are available here.
Fightful will provide more information as it becomes available.
