A player has introduced WWE star Fin Balor into the recently launched AEW Fight Forever. AEW Fight Forever is the debut game from the up-and-coming All Elite Wrestling company, developed by Yuke's and published by THQ Nordic. The game aims to offer an arcade-style fighting experience that is accessible to all players.
Due to the prolonged wait for the release of AEW Fight Forever, avid players who were eager to play as their favorite wrestlers from the Tony Khan-owned company took matters into their own hands. Using the custom wrestler feature in the rival WWE game, players have skillfully recreated the current AEW world champion, MJF, with astonishing attention to detail in WWE 2K23. With the arrival of Fight Forever, it was almost guaranteed that the situation would take a dramatic turn.
A Reddit user named NotMyWalls has uploaded their own version of WWE star Finn Balor, adopting Balor's Demon persona. The character, which showcases intricate details, features the iconic open-mouthed chest painting. Instead of using the game's custom wrestler builder, the character was created using a mod on the PC version of the game. While the move set was not shared, NotMyWalls playfully included the same All Elite announcement poster typically used for new wrestler signings with the company.
Fans have expressed admiration for the original poster's creation, praising their skillful use of the mod. Gamers have also noted that both Yuke's and THQ Nordic seem willing to allow wrestlers from rival companies to join the Fight Forever roster. This is not surprising considering that wrestlers have been known to appear at both AEW and WWE tapings on the same night.
Players who have delved into AEW Fight Forever are undoubtedly enjoying their gaming experience. However, a few issues have arisen. Users have reported crashes on the PS4 version of Fight Forever, impacting various game modes. Specifically, problems have been observed in the custom character menus and the game's Road to Elite campaign mode. It appears that these issues are exclusive to Sony's previous console generation. Nevertheless, THQ Nordic has assured that they are investigating these reports.
Since AEW Fight Forever has only recently been released, THQ and Yuke's are likely to address these problems promptly. In the meantime, players can divert their attention towards utilizing the AEW content creator to design their own exceptional wrestlers.
AEW Fight Forever is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
