Fans have been patiently waiting for AEW Fight Forever to hit consoles, but as of this writing the game does not have an official release date. It was recently reported that the release date announcement had been delayed as the amount of blood and gore in the game prevented it from getting a Teen rating.
Well today it was confirmed that AEW Fight Forever has been rated Teen. The official ESRB rating reads as follows:
“This is a wrestling game in which players compete in matches with wrestlers from the AEW roster. Players use punches, kicks, and grappling maneuvers to drain their opponents’ health. In some match types (e.g., Barbed Wire, Stadium Stampede, Unsanctioned) players can use barbed wired, baseball bats, metal chairs, and Molotov cocktails against opponents, eventually resulting in submission and/or knock outs. Blood-splatter effects can occur during matches, staining the mats; video footage of real matches also depicts blood on wrestlers’ faces and bodies. The game contains some mildly suggestive material: female wrestlers in revealing outfits (e.g., deep cleavage, bunny outfits, partially exposed buttocks); wrestlers performing taunting gestures (e.g., crotch chop, slapping buttocks). Real footage sometimes depicts wrestlers drinking alcohol and smoking. The word “sh*t” is heard in the game.”
AEW Fight Forever is expected to be released for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
