Jamie Henwood talks AEW Rise To The Top.
Rise To The Top is the latest mobile game featuring the All Elite Wrestling brand. The game is an idle style simulation game that allows players to book AEW like it is their own company.
The game, which is now available for download, was created by East Side Games and Game Masons.
Jamie Henwood, the Lead Narrative Designer for East Side Games, recently joined AEW's Unrestricted podcast for a new interview. In the chat, Henwood talked about how the idea for the game first came together.
“So the interesting thing, East Side Games makes these idle games and we usually work with a partner and we make four of the games in studio. Well, there’s about four games that we make with an outside partner and it results in a IP game and that’s what AEW [Rise To The Top] is. We work with this wicked company named Game Masons, they’re our developers, they’re the ones that are making the game that we’re asking them to make essentially. So Matt was our connection with AEW, I don’t remember all the details but I remember through someone in his family, he knew Excalibur. I know it was Excalibur and Matt that originally got it going, and we had worked with Matt on one of his mini golf games. So when he knew that AEW was potentially interested in the game, he knew that he wanted to build it with East Side Games and the idle type just fit so well with the IP, yeah that’s how it came about.”
