Tony Khan said on the post Full Gear scrum that they'll have at least two games - one that's a standard console game and another that's more of a TEW style booker game. oh shit TK knows TEW? awesome It would have shocked me more if he didn't know what TEW was...

Honestly, who would be shocked if we got a YUKES x AEW game? I mean, YUKES said they were working on a new wrestling game last year after announcing they were splitting from WWE but didn't want to comment on what it was.

I think Yuke's is a distinct possibility as developer for the big AEW game, especially as Yuke's US staff apparently mo-capped an AEW wrestler for some secret project last year.
I want to see what they can do with a wrestling game outside of WWE's and THQ's/Take Two's soul-sucking yearly release schedule. Last game like that was the old Wrestle Kingdom games, but those were Japan-only and a very, very long time ago.

TEW you say?! Time for me to once again randomly get insane ratings by booking Ric Flair against Sandman in hardcore brawls (Yes this happened, I assume it was just a game bug)
Other fun happenings: CM Punk getting caught with drugs.

It'd be kinda funny if AEW beat WWE to the "bring back GM Mode" punch, and I'm just gonna daydream til tomorrow about Yukes doing a HCTP style AEW game. With Kenny's love of 2D fighters I definitely think AEW will eventually have a 2D fighter game too.

I can only imagine the conflict Breeze and Woods are going to feel when a new wrestling game has a GM mode and neither of them can admit to playing it on any sort of social media account lol.

How to make pre-Impact TNA (early 2004) the number one promotion in EWR in three easy steps: 1. Base the X Division around Jeff Hardy, XPW deathmatch worker Supreme and joshi wrestler The Bloody. 2. Ride the Steve Austin-like popularity of Val Venis. 3. Have kickboxer Dewey Cooper beat the shit out of everyone mentioned above plus AJ Styles all in one night.

I feel like about the only hopes I have for it being any kind of decent is if Yukes is doing it; without their existing assets and experience it'd be pretty damn unlikely to actually get an AEW game that had any kind of depth to it since I can't imagine it'd have a lot of development time or budget.
That said if we got something Here Comes the Pain-ish, or even WWE 2K14-ish, out of it, that could be pretty amazing.

I love TEW, so I'm psyched for this one. As a side note, does anyone else like TEW2016 more than 2020? The UI in 2020 is rough to me. Hopefully AEW's game has a nice clean look.

Sounds like they've been developing it for awhile if we go back and look at some of the early rumors. Plus I think the information we hear today will be fairly early anyways. I'm guessing we'll get official announcement and early footage of a regular wrestling game, probably Cody and maybe Darby as those featured in it, and then a late 2021 release date. Still plenty of developmental time for a decent wrestling game, Yukes or not. Then we'll probably get an announcement of a TEW AEW booking Sim that will be available a lot sooner.

They've confirmed an AEW GM Game, an AEW Casino Game and most importantly...
An AEW console game developed by Yukes!!!

I mean, if that's the case, for all the slack Yukes got for many years, they were still the people that kept those Smackdown games together for years so them having a fresh start after a decade+ with WWE games? I'm down for that.

Considering how The Elite are so ingrained into gaming, it's about time that they did something like this. Honest, non-snarky question: Is that really a thing? Like I knew Kenny Omega in particular was a gamer, but I was not aware it was a passion of the rest of them.

I'm down for that. Yeah, it is - it looks like somebody put up the website for the launch early: aewgames.com/ Still some links that lead to Wordpress login pages, so it's definitely early.

Ric Flair vs Sandman in hardcore brawls around 2006 or so actually might have been pretty awesome.

Seems to quickly have been taken down because it's just the "Coming Soon" page and a link that just loops to that page.
