I know the original game allowed for 18 CAW slots; I've heard this new edition allows for up to 18 Executive Vice Presidents.

lmao marks need to pump the breaks on the video game. that kinda ♥♥♥♥ takes time to develop. after 2-3 years and if aew is going strong you can talk video games.

I got this from a posting on Critical Club:

"Well for what it's worth Kenny omega messaged the company that was formally known as AKI so maybe something is In the works."

[Yo_Charlie]

I'm not saying this won't happen but the chances are super slim.

- People have approached syn Sophia about licensing the AKI engine and they wanted a king's ransom for it.
- Nearly everybody that worked on the old AKI wrestling games is gone from the company.
- syn Sophia isn't staffed to work on a large scale modern title.

So unless Tony Khan is willing to pony up millions of dollars and can use his connections to find a publisher/developer that's willing to do the heavy lifting to bring the engine up to date, it's bleak.

pretty much everyone involved with VPW/WCW vs. nWo/WM2000/No Mercy has been gone from syn Sophia/AKI for years... I don't really get why Cody's approaching them about it.

Ironically, from what I've read, most of the people who worked with AKI during that time are now employed by Yukes.

I think no one needs the people who worked there. Just the rights to the IP. To just take the engine and use it with modern polygons. Modders do it now with the emulated versions all they are able to. What heavy lifting. Just improve the graphics are motion capture a few new finishers. I don't see it being so hard.

They should just add their roster to Fire Pro. We already got the real Kenny Omega and most of the faces here on Fire Pro.

I'm not sold on AEW as a wrestling company, never mind as an entity that would have a quality video game. It will remain to be seen, but I can't see myself getting excited to play as Orange Cassidy vs. Janela in a game.

I would be okay with that.

[Obediah_Iscariot]

Lol yep next comes AEW DLC for Fire Pro World, but with only half the roster and many moves missing. Half the roster = about 5 wrestlers

I hope they release the AEW game on Steam so it can have the same kind of workshop as Fire Pro. The ring textures from Fire Pro actually look better on No Mercy. Plus I hope it has infinite slots for CAWS too. I worked pretty hard on some AEW videos for Double Or Nothing. Plus I made the arena.

AEW to make a video game will not happen.

The wwe owens the rights too

Cody Rhodes
Goldust
Chris Jericho
Adam Cole
And anyone else who decided to jumpship

Vince would charge billions in rights and if cody decides to make it without those rights he would get slammed with heaps of Copyright's.

[Carlzilla]

I HIGHLY doubt the WWE owns the rights to Chris Jericho, otherwise he wouldn't be able to compete in AEW as Chris Jericho.

Cody isn't using Cody Rhodes so no issues there unless he tries to portray himself in his old WWE ring attire or use the same ring or move names he used in WWE.

I'm guessing the same goes with everyone else. WWE may own the rights to most things that were created in the WWE but they do not own the rights for the individuals to appear in videos games in perpetuity...so I'm sure as long as they avoid WWE branded names, gimmicks, and move names there's not much WWE could do.
