AEW isn’t ready to give up on video games just because Fight Forever didn’t live up to expectations. More than a year after reports noted that the company was exploring new gaming projects, Tony Khan has now confirmed he’d like to step back into the gaming world—and this time, he wants to do it differently.
Speaking during the AEW Redemption post-show media scrum, Khan was asked whether fans could expect an AEW Fight Forever 2 or another wrestling game in the future. Rather than shutting the idea down, he admitted AEW learned valuable lessons from its first attempt and would absolutely be interested in making another game.
“I have to say that I would be interested in taking another run at gaming and trying new things. We learned a lot from the experience of launching Fight Forever. For a company as young as AEW to have a game on the market, it was a very ambitious project.”
Khan stressed that AEW’s gaming ambitions extend beyond simply making a direct sequel. According to him, the company has already experimented with games on other platforms and believes there are plenty of different directions it could take if it returns to the gaming space.
“We’ve developed other games on different platforms, and I do think there are a lot of different ways and different types of games we could make. Absolutely, at some point I’d be interested in it.”
One thing Khan made clear, however, is that AEW won’t rush into another release, but made it clear he doesn’t rule out trying his hand at video games again.
“I would never want to rush into it. We worked really hard and also learned a lot from our first foray into gaming, and I do think it’d be something interesting to try again.”
His comments line up with a backstage report from July 2025, when Insider Gaming’s Mike Straw revealed that discussions about future AEW games had started picking up again. At the time, the report claimed AEW had learned from the rollout of Fight Forever and had no intention of announcing another project years before it was ready, choosing instead to reveal future games much closer to release.
While Khan stopped short of announcing a new title, his comments make one thing clear: Fight Forever isn’t the end of AEW’s gaming story. After learning some hard lessons from its first console release, the company appears determined to eventually step back into the ring with another game—when the timing is right.
