The AEW: Fight Forever listing promises some key features that have yet to be officially confirmed, including a “deep career mode,” “wrestler customization” (whether that means full character creation remains to be seen), and online play. It also seems like tag-team wrestling will be a particular focus, with players being able to easily execute complex double-team moves. As for match types, singles, tag-team, 3-way, 4-way, ladder, Casino Battle Royale, Falls Count Anywhere, Unsanctioned Lights Out, and yes, Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch variants are listed.

Assuming this description is accurate, it seems AEW: Fight Forever is going to be more full-featured than I was expecting. If it can deliver the in-ring action, it seems like this game could be a contender.
