The full selection of AEW Fight Forever DLC Season 2 is now in the wild, following the release of Toni Storm. It's a mixed bag overall: new AEW Fight Forever modes, such as Beat The Elite, are novel, but we'd rather have seen more characters added than just Storm and The Acclaimed. For instance, there's still no way to play as reigning world champion Samoa Joe. You'll find full details of everything released so far in GR's AEW Fight Forever DLC guide.
How do I get the AEW Fight Forever DLC characters?
Those familiar with WWE 2K23 DLC will be used to the structure here. Season 1 brought seven playable DLC characters in total to expand your AEW Fight Forever roster. The best way to snag them all is with the game’s season pass. It's not cheap, though, costing £24.99/$29.99. That includes almost all of the extra content.
I say ‘almost’, because there’s one notable exception. Matt Hardy was the game’s pre-order bonus and while he’s now widely available, you have to pay extra for him. Hardy costs £3.99/$4.99. You do, however, get two versions of the former WWE star: standard Matt, and his ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy alter-ego. The second of those is a fiddle to get working – check out our AEW Fight Forever Broken Matt Hardy guide for the quick fix.
What is the AEW Fight Forever DLC release date?
There were three DLC packs in AEW Fight Forever Season 1.
The FTR: Revival Pack was unleashed on Thursday, June 29. It contained Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, collectively known as FTR – hence the title. These guys were known as The Revival during their WWE days, so there’s also a cunning nod to AEW’s big rival in that name. The pack also includes two mini-games: JoinUs and Deth Race-X.
Next up, we got the Limitless Bunny Bundle. This contains The Bunny and Keith Lee – who narrowly missed out on the WWE 2K23 roster having been released in 2021. Also included here are two more mini-games: MJF Car Thrash and Sloth Sling. The pack was supposed to be landing on Tuesday, July 25, but in the end it didn't emerge until Thursday, August 31.
The final Season 1 pack to be announced was the Hookhausen Very Handsome Very Evil Pack. ECW legend Taz isn’t on the roster, but his son Hook makes it as part of this pack – as does camp pugilist Danhausen. It emerged on Thursday, September 23.
What is AEW Fight Forever Stadium Stampede?
Stadium Stampede Battle Royale is a free additional game mode in which you go to war with 29 other players using golf buggies, horses and anything else you can get your hands on. As the name suggests, it's set in a massive AEW stadium where there's minimal time to take stock of what's going on around you. You can tailor your loadout before each match, and improve your strike, grapple, aerial and weapon skills with every play. Sound like chaos? It is!
Is there an AEW Fight Forever Season 2?
There is indeed! AEW Fight Forever Season 2 got underway on Wednesday, November 22. The first piece of DLC added a brand new Dynamite arena, and fresh tag-team: Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, AKA The Acclaimed. Next up was Beat The Elite mode, on Wednesday, December 13. You fight nine random characters in sequence and then have to face off with a member of The Elite to score in-game cosmetic items. The final AEW Fight Forever Season 2 DLC release is former WWE favourite Toni Storm. She landed on Wednesday, January 10.
The AEW Fight Forever Season 2 Pass costs $24.99/£19.99.
