AEW Fight Forever is currently planned for a first quarter of 2023 release, which will include "over 50 characters" upon launch. AEW star Evil Uno of The Dark Order recently revealed that the game will eventually include updates that evolves its roster and gameplay.
"What I can give you; I can give you the tidbits that I was allowed to announce. There will be over 50 characters at launch. 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."
As for MJF within AEW, he is not currently announced for tonight's AEW Dynamite. Current adversary Bryan Danielson will speak, which could lead to Friedman confronting the American Dragon during his segment. MJF is coming off his first defense of the AEW World Title, as he defeated Ricky Starks to retain the championship last week at AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming.
AEW Fight Forever is expected to arrive in early 2023.
