AEW: Fight Forever - 15 Best Looking Characters

Don't be fooled by early screenshots! AEW's new game has some gorgeous looks.

Twitter laughed when the earliest screenshots leaked of AEW's new Fight Forever video game. People instantly leapt on top of the project by suggesting it looked more like a PS2 title than anything else, but Yuke's and THQ were hard at work building on prototype images pumped out online.

The end result is much better than those critics might've been expecting.

Is Fight Forever a perfect game? No, but it's an excellent first step in a possible series, and a viable alternative to the more sim-based WWE 2K franchise. Is it '2K Battlegrounds with AEW wrestlers' as some predicted? Nope, not even close. In fact, some of the wrestlers included on the base roster look awesome, especially in motion during matches.

This list brings together the best of the best. You might actually be surprised by some of the omissions; Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Britt Baker, MJF and other major stars aren't here. There also appears to be a love letter approach to some former WWE stars from the artists working on the game, because those men and women rank as Fight Forever's finest.

Feast your eyes on these models!

Yuke's and THQ captured Riho's almost-childlike innocence incredibly well.

Facially, she wears that 'in over her head' expression, and the character model's overall size is literally dwarfed by everyone else in the game. In fact, Riho might even be the smallest of the lot, which is fine - that's how it should be.

Don't forget that Fight Forever lets players dip into sub-menus and mess around with AEW star outfits. That's a neat touch, and it means gamers can mix things up by adding alternative attires for everyone on the roster. Riho is no exception. Y'know, if you get sick of that classic look.
