AEW working on console game, mobile games with former WWE 2K series developer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Just weeks after All Elite Wrestling (AEW) marked the first year anniversary of its weekly flagship episodic wrestling show Dynamite, the wrestling promotion is marking another milestone.
In a press conference held Tuesday evening online, the promotion would launch its gaming division, AEW Games, with some projects in the works.
AEW co-executive vice president Kenny Omega would kick off the presentation with the announcement of their console game. The title of the project is not currently known, but there is an interesting bombshell as to who's developing the game. Yuke's, the developer of numerous games in the WWE 2K series, is apparently among the development group for this new game.
Yuke's was behind many WWE games prior to the WWE 2K series, such as the Raw vs. Smackdown series, alongside Visual Concepts. The developer would leave development following the release of WWE 2K19. As a result, game development would severely suffer as THQ took the reins. The end product in WWE 2K20 would result in notorious glitches and an unpolished product that very few patches have resolved to date.
Sample game footage showed Omega fighting against the Demo God Chris Jericho, with AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida later interfering in the match. While the promotion does not implement intergender wrestling, the game will likely include it.
