In a recent interview with Cultaholic Wrestling, Lead Narrative Designer Justin Leeper shared his thoughts on the response to AEW Fight Forever (per Fightful). According to Leeper, his team is largely happy with the player reactions to the product and as long as the players are having fun, his goals are achieved. You can find a highlight and listen to the full podcast below.

On the reactions to Fight Forever’s launch: “Yeah, I think we’re pretty happy. I think that, I was at least aware, that reviews might not be in the stratosphere, but at the end of the day, I make games for the player. I make games so that the people that are interested in it, will pick it up and find some fun and enjoyment in it. Does that mean I made a perfect mode, no definitely not. Is this a perfect game, no it is not. Especially taking it as a from the ground up, first ever effort for a brand new IP, I think we accomplished what we wanted to do. I think I accomplished what I wanted to do on the mode, I think we made it a kinda easy to play, hard to master kind of game that was intuitive to the controls and fun to play. It’s something to build off of, very much so and I hope there are some updates that come that bring some other people into the fold [who hadn’t bought the game yet]. By in large, the people who I’ve heard from that are playing it, are enjoying what they’re playing.”
