Players of AEW Fight Forever can now bring the Big Swing, European Uppercuts, and more to the game with the inclusion of Claudio Castagnoli as DLC.

First announced in 2020, AEW Fight Forever is the promotion's first console video game follows on from the company's mobile games 'AEW Elite: General Manager' and 'AEW Casino: Double or Nothing.' Fight Forever's development would take longer than many fans expected, before hitting shelves and online stores in June of last year.

In a YouTube video, it was confirmed that the newest DLC will bring Claudio Castagnoli to the popular game. The Swiss wrestler narrates over footage of himself in the game to a remix of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

The Blackpool Combat Club member mentions that he is coming to the game with a bunch of new skins for characters as well as the rare 'Gold Attire.' This unique attire is available for all playable characters but can only be unlocked by winning the AEW World Championship 20 times in the game.

AEW Fight Forever's Roster

Many fans weren't happy when AEW Fight Forever was released that the playable character roster was noticeably smaller than expected (and far smaller than WWE's 2K games.)

Noticeable omissions from the launch date roster included Inner Circle alum such as Jake Hager, Santana, and Ortiz and reigning Ring of Honor Women's World Champion Athena. In October, it was said that work was being done on adding new talent to the game. The following month, AEW Trios Champions The Acclaimed were added to the game as DLC.
