The new partnership between AEW, Yuke's, and Iwashita was unveiled by wrestler and AEW executive Kenny Omega. In the wake of 2K20's poor reception, 2K and the WWE are skipping over a new annual installment this year-instead, September saw the release of the arcade-oriented WWE 2K Battlegrounds from Saber Interactive. 2K confirmed the Yuke's departure not long before the troubled launch of WWE 2K20. Yuke's left the WWE license behind last year, putting the series' future in the hands of NBA 2K developers Visual Concepts. Yuke's is now developing a still-untitled AEW game for "current and next-gen consoles" with the help of Hideyuki "Geta" Iwashita, who was the director for 2000's well-loved WWF No Mercy on the N64. Having launched its regular TV program just last year, AEW is still much smaller than the WWE, but it's now gearing up to take the top wrestling game spot from WWE 2K with the help of the series' former developers.ĪEW formally announced the creation of its AEW Games division yesterday and revealed a partnership with Yuke's, the Osaka-based studio that led development of 2K's WWE games for close to two decades. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email a long, long period with little in the way of high-profile competition to contend with, the WWE finally has a new rival wrestling promotion in All Elite Wrestling (or AEW).
