AEW Fight Forever has received the Switchblade Tournament Pack, which adds a current champion, Jay White, to the game's roster. The new DLC rolled out for all AEW Fight Forever players on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One on July 10.
AEW Fight Forever brought some variety to the professional wrestling video game category when it rolled out on June 29, 2023. Developed by Yuke's, the veteran studio behind popular wrestling games like WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role, Fight Forever builds upon the years of experience of the devs and delivers familiar arcade-like gameplay. In the past few months, the developer has added certain prominent wrestlers to AEW Fight Forever's roster. Now, an AEW champion has made his way into the game as part of the latest expansion pack.
With the Switchblade Tournament Pack DLC, priced at USD 6.99, fans can finally play the game as the reigning Unified World Trios Champion, "Switchblade" Jay White. The decorated athlete currently holds both the AEW World Trios Championship and the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship in real life, making him a key addition to AEW Fight Forever's male roster. White joins the list of some high-profile arrivals in the game in recent months, alongside iconic wrestlers like Samoa Joe and Adam Copeland.
AEW Fight Forever DLC Brings Fresh Content
Apart from Switchblade himself, the DLC also packs various other content aimed at enhancing the experience for players. It consists of 12 new moves, five new entrance music tracks, and a new tournament mode. Notably, the latest update brings Jay White's signature taunts and also adds his finishing move to AEW Fight Forever's long list of finishers. The DLC can be purchased separately or as part of the Season Pass 4, which is worth USD 19.99.
It's no secret that AEW Fight Forever isn't among the best video game franchise debuts. Upon release, it received mixed reviews and, hence, doesn't rank high on the list for many gamers. Disappointingly, the game still doesn't have one of AEW's major attractions, Will Ospreay, as a playable character with no official plans to add him in the future.
However, Yuke's has been shipping post-launch content regularly to amplify the game's appeal among fans. Through DLCs, the developer has expanded its roster as well as its gameplay modes considerably. With AEW Fight Forever going free for PS Plus subscribers recently, there are good chances that new content drops may incentivize more players to try the game out.
