hope there's dual options to select which Mox song you want tho I figure they'd rather use his old one rather than maybe pay for the rights to the new one. I hope Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks get in though I imagine if the game is successful there will be a lot of dlc packs

For the hell of it, I made a list of the wrestlers who haven't been confirmed. I'm not including everyone on the AEW roster, but those who seem high enough in the pecking order that they definitely could or should be in the game. I'm ignoring recent hires like Jarrett, Saraya, Switchblade, Strong, etc.

Guys like Fenix, Luchasaurus, and Wardlow are practically a given and it's all but confirmed that FTR are DLC.

Alex Reynolds
Andrade El Idolo
Anthony Bowens
Austin Gunn
Billy Gunn
Blade
Brody King
Buddy Matthews
Butcher
Cash Wheeler
Christopher Daniels
Claudio Castagnoli
Colten Gunn
Danhausen
Daniel Garcia
Dante Martin
Dax Harwood
Eddie Kingston
Ethan Page
Evil Uno
Hook
Jake Hager
Jay Lethal
John Silver
Keith Lee
Kip Sabian
Luchasaurus
Malakai Black
Max Caster
Powerhouse Hobbs
Rey Fenix
Ricky Starks
Rush
Samoa Joe
Scorpio Sky
Swerve Strickland
Wardlow
Wheeler Yuta
Anna Jay
Bunny
Jamie Hayter
Penelope Ford
Riho
Ruby Soho
Serena Deeb
Tay Melo
Toni Storm

Man, AEW has such a good roster.

Where are you getting less than a month out from? There's no solid word on a release date but it's rumored to be June 29th. If that's true, it stands to reason that that'll be part of TK's announcement tomorrow, which gives them six weeks for promotion.

I assume this is BS. How can you preload a game that isn't even on sale?

Unless it's Day 1 Game Pass and they figured out a way to find it. If that's the case we'd prolly get it tomorrow or Thursday morning.

But I think someone is trolling.

All the waffling about release dates and delays reminds me of the good old N64 days where the release date would literally be "It's done when it gets to your town/local Blockbuster Video but gently caress you this date is gonna say 'Winter This Year' for two years."

If, big if, that rumored June 29th release date is real then it wouldn't be bad at all since it's after Final Fantasy 16 releases and the start of July until near the end of the month is pretty good for a new game series to release since there's no blockbuster game releasing honestly.

But that's a big IF.

Publicly traded publishers typically state their target release dates by quarter well in advance, not to build hype among product customers but financial investors; if you can say “we’re delivering a product Q2 and we expect it to be a hit,” then investors will expect a greater return on their investment and the stock price will go up. Exact dates aren’t as important as the general commitment.

There haven’t been any formal public announcements to that effect that I can find (doesn’t sound like THQ Nordic has investor calls or the like) but the informal talk has it out Q2. A June release would put it at the tail end of that.

Maybe TK wants to do his little Elon thing of being the personality who single-handedly makes big splashes and maybe THQ Nordic is on board with that; maybe they expect that more or less total radio silence leading into a more intense six week press blitz is better for the game’s profile than a steady maintenance of presence / salience in consumers’ minds. Maybe there’s behind-the-scenes friction between the orgs that go beyond the public miscommunications and that’s causing problems with promo but the game is still good.

Personally I expect that either THQ Nordic is confident in the product and simply has little to no skill at publicity (happens a lot in game publishing) or they don’t expect much out of the product and don’t see the point in throwing good money after bad. Functionally there’s not much difference.

When promo this threadbare this close to release (if June is the target for FF) happened with YUKES games of the 2K era it was pretty much always safe to assume that they knew they were likely to get more sales if the game just appeared without context in stores than if they actually showed it extensively before the drop. If the game’s actually good we’ll be in the classic Arkane zone of “why isn’t anyone talking about this”

RMG is basically Mupen64Plus-Next with Project64's nice, sane UI and without the stink of being attached to RetroArch.

And yet 2k23 remains much much more released than fight forever. Curious, this.
