Today, AEW Fight Forever announced its third season of DLC content. To kick things off, the team dropped the first piece of paid DLC which finally adds Swerve Strickland and his signature finishers to Fight Forever. However, players who don’t want to drop $10 on the new Swerve DLC still have a reason to jump back into the game. The developers at Yuke’s have also added a new chunk of free DLC alongside the Season 3 patch. Obviously, this isn’t as significant as adding Swerve, but the Freebie 4 da Fans DLC does flesh out the options for AEW Fight Forever‘s create-a-wrestler.

The new DLC drops on February 16 and adds 10 new ring attires and five new music tracks. Again, it’s not a big drop but it does give everyone something to chew on. In addition to the DLC, fans have a brand-new patch full of general fixes to look forward to. The patch is coming to all platforms and is mostly focused on ironing out several bugs that have been plaguing the game. That includes fixes for the bug that saw players enter an infinite running glitch after receiving an Irish Whip and the bug in Casino Battle Royale where players could only use weak grapple attacks.
Below, you’ll find a full list of the patch notes for Update 1.09. AEW Fight Forever is available now on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, and PC platforms.
