AEW's Official Console Game To Feature Cross-Platform Play
It doesn't matter what console you own: Kenny Omega says AEW's game will be cross-compatible.
People who buy All Elite Wrestling's upcoming console game will be able to play with users on other platforms, says Kenny Omega.
The former AEW World Champion spoke with Dave Meltzer and Garrett Gonzales on Wrestling Observer Radio recently. When the conversation turned to AEW Games, Omega confirmed, amongst other things, that the still-untitled project will be feature cross-platform play (h/t Fightful):-
"We have a lot of match types, game modes, there is going to be cross-platform and an online component where you can create your own lobby and things like that and have fun with friends, the ability to defend belts. Plenty of ways to interact with people in different ways to build a community and interact with people and have fun. In this wrestling universe, it's not just about the wrestling itself, it's always about bringing people together as best you can, which is not the main focus, but I would like to see that happen and it's one of my focuses. I would like to see that happen, for this game to be a chance for wrestling fans and people who enjoy the game to have as many outlets as they can to bring their friends together and have fun, offline or online."
Prior to this, Kenny stated that while he didn't want to promise an exact date, the team are currently preparing their next presentation:-
"We're working on our next presentation. We're working non-stop, around the clock, on this game. There are a lot of deadlines we're trying to reach. We don't ever want to keep anyone in the dark completely and it's been quite some time since we've had an actual update, not just information, but we want to be able to show people something. I would expect, hopefully, to have something prepared for people, to show, very soon. I don't want to promise at the pay-per-view or the pay-per-view week, but we were hoping to possibly show a little more of where we're at and progression and reveal possibly a new character or character. It is coming along."
