Perhaps nobody should be surprised that 2020 threw up 'Kenny Omega does Steve Jobs' to announce AEW's forthcoming bombardment of video games. This has been one weird (occasionally terrifying) year, but All Elite's charming press conference hints at better things to come in 2021.

Namely, three brand spanking new games that'll compete with WWE's 2K series.

Gamers won't have to wait until next year to get their hands on at least one of them either; AEW Games will release a full 3D title, a management-based booking sim and a mobile collection of Casino-esque distractions. That last one is out "this winter", and it was backed by a live action casino scene from AEW's roster that rivalled anything 2K has put out to hype their own franchise.

This article draws together everything you need to know about all three games. Of course, it's the 3D one that takes top billing. There's serious excitement to see what AEW can do here, especially now that one of the most respected and forward-thinking developers is on board.

Here's everything you should know at first glance...
