Tony Khan: AEW gaming approach exploratory, no sequel timeline yet

AEW President Tony Khan signaled that the promotion’s approach to video games remains exploratory, practical, and fan-driven, even as it continues to consider a sequel to its 2023 console release Fight Forever. Speaking on a pre-Forbidden Door media call, Khan said there are no firm plans for a follow-up, but emphasized that AEW has learned valuable lessons from Fight Forever and intends to apply them to future gaming projects across various formats and platforms.

Khan framed the discussion around learning from the past rather than charting a precise timetable for the next title. “I love pro wrestling, and I’ll be the first to say that I’m not the biggest expert in the world on video gaming,” he said. “There are great, great experts in the world about it and I tried to take insight and advice from people in AEW and people around the developers. And absolutely, we learned a lot in the making of the game and could take that in the future, I really believe to make the next game much, much better and learn from the experiences of doing that.” He stressed that while gaming is not his sole focus, it remains a significant concern for a broad portion of AEW’s fan base.
