Gameplay
AEW Fight Forever is a wrestling fighting game that will differentiate itself from its competition by having a more arcadey feel compared to the more common sports simulation feel that most wrestling games today have.

The game will feature different match types, like Single, Tag Team, 3-Way, 4-Way, Ladder, Casino Battle Royale, Falls Count Anywhere, Unsanctioned Lights Out, and Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch, with the promise of “lots of blood.” The game will have a Career Mode and Online Multiplayer, and will feature customizable wrestlers, tag teams, entrances, arenas, and move sets.
Story
AEW Fight Forever will feature a Career Mode which will allow players to go through any AEW wrestler's career. Throughout the player's career, they'd be able to take part in storylines, completing objectives and doing things inside and outside of the ring. They can earn currency and experience through the Career Mode, allowing them to purchase new gear and upgrade stats. Yuke's promises that the game mode will be long and deep. However, not a lot of details regarding the direction of the plot that the Career Mode might have.
