AEW and THQ Nordic have now confirmed Fight Forever's release date will be June 29, 2023, two days after the retail listing suggested and on the same day as Forbidden Door 2. The promotion's very first video game will be available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Original story: While we might never know everything AEW Fight Forever has been through behind the scenes, it seems fairly likely the promotion's debut video game has had a turbulent development period. However, its achievement list leaking and reports of pre-loads going live have wrestling gamers hopeful its arrival is finally near. In fact, according to a new retail listing, we might now know exactly when Fight Forever will launch.

Fight Forever's Potential Release Date

Spotted by Drainmaker, French retailer Just For Games currently has a release date attached to its Fight Forever listing, and that date is June 27, 2023. So a little more than a month from now, and just two days before Forbidden Door 2. As for when that potential release date might be confirmed, Double or Nothing, which goes down this Sunday, might well be the best place for such a landmark announcement.

Until the release date is officially confirmed, retail listings should be taken with a pinch of salt. It seems entirely possible this leak is an accurate one as evidence the game is done and ready to go continues to stack up, though. Tony Khan hinted development on Fight Forever was done earlier this year, only for someone from THQ Nordic to step in and say that wasn't technically true, although it was suggested the bulk of the game was done and it was simply a case of the finishing touches being applied.

AEW Has A Lot Going On

Khan tends to be pretty heavy-handed when it comes to teasing big announcements, but this current period in AEW history may well take the cake in that regard. There's a lot going on in AEW right now as its new Saturday night show Collision has now been officially confirmed. Khan will be on Dynamite again this Wednesday to announce where the first Collision will take place.

It was assumed Collision's debut will emanate from Chicago and that it will mark the return to AEW of CM Punk. However, on the day Collision was confirmed, those plans were seemingly thrown up in the air. Punk's return now appears to be a little less likely than it was this time last week, and there's every chance Chicago doesn't host the first Collision.
