The upcoming ‘AEW Fight Forever’ game impressed a panel of judges enough to win Best Sports/Racing Game at the Gamescom 2022 convention in Cologne, Germany.
Earlier in the week at the five-day convention, the public was shown gameplay footage, and a playable demo was made available to those in attendance.
Developers THQ Nordic and Yuke’s reportedly have aimed for a retro gameplay experience reminiscent of ‘WWF No Mercy’, which was released in 2000.
Although still in development, the convention’s panel of judges today awarded the title Best Sports/Racing Game, with Colt Cabana and Evil Uno on hand to collect the prize.
