AEW Fight Forever: Bloody Ring and Hardcore Wrestlers

New screenshots from AEW Fight Forever have been released, showcasing the game's intense and hardcore gameplay. Fans can expect to see their favorite wrestlers covered in blood as they battle it out in various match types, including the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match from the AEW Revolution 2021 pay-per-view. Developed in partnership with THQ Nordic and Yuke's, AEW Fight Forever was originally designed as a spiritual successor to classic wrestling games from the Nintendo 64 era, such as WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy. With an in-depth career mode, mini-games, offline exhibition matches, and online modes, AEW Fight Forever promises to be a thrilling experience for wrestling fans. The game also features realistic depictions of wrestlers being busted open after taking devastating weapon attacks, further adding to the hardcore nature of the gameplay. The new screenshots shared by AEW Games on Twitter showcase the AEW Dynamite ring and various wrestlers, including Chris Jericho, Orange Cassidy, Hikaru Shida, and Abadon, covered in blood. AEW Games assures fans that there will be no removal of blood in the game, and these screenshots are a testament to the level of intensity that AEW Fight Forever will offer.

Blood is a regular occurrence in hardcore wrestling matches, particularly in Unsanctioned Lights Out and Exploding Barbed Wire Death Matches. Opponents often target each other's heads with weapons, as seen in the image of Hikaru Shida and Abadon, which can result in bleeding. Additionally, powerful strikes can also cause wrestlers to bleed during matches.

AEW Games' use of blood in AEW Fight Forever may have caused some concern among fans regarding the game's rating. However, AEW Games' latest tweet has received positive feedback from longtime wrestling enthusiasts, with some even jokingly mentioning Jon Moxley's tendency to bleed during AEW programming. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of AEW Fight Forever.

Despite disappointing fans with an update on the game's release date, AEW is further building goodwill within its community by sharing positive updates on in-game content. To maintain the game's momentum leading up to the June 29 release, AEW may want to continue releasing gameplay and updates.

AEW Fight Forever will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
