Current AEW star and a former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega who is also a former Impact World Heavyweight champion recently talked about the upcoming AEW video game and revealed that Cody Rhodes will still be present in the video game even after leaving the promotion.
AEW has been teasing a video game since the very first year of its existence. At first it was quite and anticipated video game and there had been a lot of discussions about it which made the anticipation level go really high. There had been photos released about the game which made things look really great.
Kenny Omega Reveals Cody Rhodes Will Not Be Removed From The Upcoming AEW Video Game
It was also advertised that the game will be inspired from the WWF/WWE No Mercy video game that was released for the Nintendo 64 back in 2000 and it is considered as the best wrestling video game ever. It was so good that it is still being modded by the modding community. After AEW made this announcement the intensity level went even higher.
But right now it has been 3 years that the game has been announced and we still did not hear anything about it. The video gaming community has already started to compare it with Cyberpunk 2077 which took 7 years to release after its first announcement and ultimately it was a big disappointment. We seriously hope they do not mess it up.
Kenny Omega who is also a former Impact World Heavyweight champion recently spoke to Sports Illustrated where he talked about the upcoming AEW video game and revealed that Cody Rhodes will still be present in the video game even after leaving the promotion. He said;
“The game has to be fun. I also want the game to have its own feel. A match with Kenny Omega should feel like a Kenny Omega match. The same with Darby Allin or Nyla Rose. There can be universal counters, but the characters need their unique signature moves. So you’re not going to see Sting do a springboard top rope frankensteiner. Sting will feel like Sting. My hope is that whoever you like, you’ll get to enjoy playing like them in the game.”
“There is also some real cool stuff with the game modes. There will be a couple surprises, too. The plan is to show new material as soon as possible. We’re getting very close.”
“This may come as a surprise to people, but Cody is still in the game. I was very passionate about making sure his legacy and position within the company were preserved. We’ve built this game from the ground up, starting everything from scratch.
“That’s why I thought this game could coincide with the birth of this company. You get to experience AEW from the beginning, from day one. The game is going to reflect a lot of that, even though our locker room is ever-changing.”
