The All Elite Wrestling video game could be coming way sooner than expected.
Fightful Select has learned that as of this week, there was a tentative internal release date for late September for AEW's upcoming console video game. We were told that there was plenty of work to be done then, but that the plan has long been for the game to release this year, and that September is widely regarded as the target as of now.
Fightful reported earlier this year that a story mode would be involved, and that there was a deadline for certain music to be involved in the game. We first got word that the release date could be coming sooner than later when AEW talent indicated that they may have arrived in the company too late to be included in the first run of the game.
It was stressed to us that this is a tentative release date and there's a publisher involved, though not officially announced. We're told to expect that fairly soon if all goes well, but a lot of things could change between now and the tentative release date.
