Watch: New AEW: Fight Forever Gameplay Shown in Latest AEW Games Twitch Stream
The latest episode of AEW Games's "All Elite Arcade" featured Evil Uno and Orange Cassidy playing AEW: Fight Forever ahead of its June 29 release date. Some of the matches included an intergender bout between Chris Jericho & Dr. Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa vs. Hikaru Shida and Orange Cassidy vs. "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry and MJF. Additional features like Cassidy unlocking his "Sloth Style" and customizable pyro during entrances were also revealed. You can see some of the clips from the stream below.
Uno, who helped with the game's production, told Fightful last year that Fight Forever will emphasize post-launch content rather than focus on an annual release schedule. The gameplay will also feature a more arcade-style similar to WWF No Mercy and WCW vs. nWo Revenge from the Nintendo 64.

"The plan is for it to evolve over time. So we have a huge roster," Uno said. "Of course, it hasn't been said, but I'm sure we want release more of that roster in due time. There will be more game modes than originally is at release. It's called AEW Fight Forever for several reasons. One being that this is likely going to be a forever game that evolves over time."
"They'll have years where GM Mode's there. Some years it's not. So, yeah. I'm always of the mind that if a game can evolve over time, like--okay, I'm going to drop some gaming stuff here. Deep Rock Galactic, No Man's Sky, games that initially were good, but now two years later are fantastic because they have so much crazy content," he continued.
