AEW Fight Forever Game: 10 Reasons To Be Worried

1. That Could Mean DLC Overload

AEW's Fight Forever game will probs have some sort of tacked-on DLC post-launch, and it might even rely rather heavily on "bonus" extras. Adding more characters to the lineup will be an ongoing concern, but asking fans to pay for wrestlers they'd likely expect to be on-disc is a risky move.

Yuke's might view it as unavoidable if the roster count caps at 50 though. To them, justifying this as giving gamers a much better all-round AEW experience will sound good. To those players, it'll read more as: 'Give us all of your cash now'. There's no getting around the bitter taste that microtransactions can leave.

Top names like Jon Moxley haven't been officially confirmed for Fight Forever yet. He'll surely be in, but...what if he isn't? What if AEW and Yuke's offer him as a pre-order DLC bonus, or stick Mox in a post-release pack? That'd be a nightmare.
