THQ Nordic GmbH and AEW today unveiled the extremely punishing and often controversial Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch mode in AEW: Fight Forever. Are you ready to fight for your life in the Fight Forever ring?

Scheduled for release across PC, PS4™/5, Xbox One and Series S/X, and Nintendo® Switch on Thursday, June 29, 2023, AEW: Fight Forever is already being recognised for its retro approach to design, which includes hand-crafted animations and a nostalgic arcade feel. AEW: Fight Forever presents fans with their first chance to pull off wrestling moves only seen on the wildly popular AEW programming. Online co-op wrestling is going completely next level with Tag-Team matches that feature sequences of team manoeuvres performed with simple commands. Game modes including Ladder Match, Exploding Barbed Wire and Casino Battle Royale along with a stacked roster of popular AEW wrestlers, career mode, wrestler customisation, signature AEW arenas, multiple match types and some good ol’ fashioned unsanctioned fun await.

The AEW: Fight Forever Matt Hardy digital pre-order is available worldwide for PS4™/5, Xbox One and Series S/X, and Nintendo® Switch.

The AEW: Fight Forever Elite Edition, which will be available digitally for both console and PC contains:

• Early Access (24-hour/available Wednesday, June 28)
• Matt Hardy and Broken Matt Hardy roster additions
