...uh oh!

Fight Forever is reportedly going way over budget. As referenced earlier, gameplay reveals show that the game is nowhere near finished either, so AEW and Yuke's are gonna have to pump more money in to push this project over the line ahead of a full scale release.

Wrestling gamers have craved another major promotion's title for years (there hasn't been a proper WWE 2K competitor focused on one promotion since TNA's game), but will sales be strong enough to offset these hefty development costs? Perhaps that's what Khan is most concerned about; the AEW overseer must be wondering why things are taking so long, but Yuke's surely know what they're doing.

It doesn't sound great that things are over budget already though. Yuke's will have to do a lot of polishing up before they launch Fight Forever, and that'll cost cold, hard cash. How long until Tony starts asking more questions about the finances?
