This morning during a special event from AEW Games, Kenny Omega came out in his best Steve Jobs outfit to announced the first All Elite Wrestling video game. The event itself was very silly, but also very in-tone with AEW’s type of content.
Omega announced that they have a game in development with Yuke’s who were the prominent developer of the WWE video games from the early 2000’s up until WWE 2K19. Later in the event, it was revealed that Hideyuki Iwashita, the director of WWF: No Mercy for the Nintendo 64 is onboard with this project and returning to the world of wrestling video games.
The game is currently untitled but is coming to both PS4/PS5 and the Xbox family of consoles by the sounds of it.
The trailer itself saw Chris Jericho and Omega facing off before Hikaru Shida (the current Women’s Champion) enter the ring to land a running knee-strike on Kenny. The game promises to let fans dream matches like that one (Kenny VS Shida) become a reality.
Although the character models do have room for improvement, it is a work in progress. Check out the trailer for the untitled All Elite Wrestling game below.
