It's always a thrill when a wrestling game lets you step into the squared circle as your favorite stars, but what really adds that extra layer of fun, that personal touch, is the chance to deck them out in something a little different. AEW: Fight Forever, developed by the folks at YUKE'S who know their wrestling games inside and out, definitely understands this. They've packed in a whole lot more than just the core gameplay, and a big part of that is the sheer variety of alternate attires you can unlock and use.
When you dive into the Ultimate Edition, for instance, you're not just getting the main game. You're getting access to a massive amount of content, and that includes a staggering 93 skin and attire options. That's a huge number, and it means you can really customize how your favorite AEW wrestlers look. Think about it – beyond their iconic ring gear, what else have they worn? What memorable looks have they sported? The game aims to bring a lot of that to life.
We're talking about more than just a different color scheme here. The DLC packs alone introduce a ton of new possibilities. The Matt Hardy Pack, for example, gives you access to both Matt Hardy and the legendary Broken Matt Hardy, each with their own distinct visual flair. Then there's the FTR: Revival Pack, bringing Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler into the mix, and you can bet they'll have their signature looks. Even smaller packs, like the Hookhausen Very Handsome, Very Evil Pack, or the Dynamite featuring The Acclaimed, add specific character designs that fans will recognize and appreciate.
It’s not just about the wrestlers themselves, either. Some DLCs focus on specific arenas, like the 2023 Dynamite Arena or the Day and Evening Beach Arena, which can subtly influence the vibe of a match. And then there are the dedicated attire packs. The Swerve to the Beach DLC, for instance, not only gives you Swerve Strickland but also those beach arenas and two new attire customization options. Similarly, the World War Joe DLC brings Samoa Joe with a new Japanese Shrine arena and two new attires. Even Claudio Castagnoli gets an alternate entrance song and 30 new re-skin options, showing a real dedication to variety.
It’s this attention to detail, this willingness to go beyond the basics, that really makes a game like AEW: Fight Forever feel more alive. It’s about letting players express themselves, relive memorable moments, and perhaps even create new ones with their customized rosters. It’s that feeling of having your own unique version of AEW, and the alternate attires are a huge part of making that happen.
