UPDATE
The Stadium Stampede mode is officially out! Check out the small release trailer featuring Chris Jericho below!
ORIGINAL STORy
As we noted yesterday, we’re in the midst of one of the biggest weeks in All Elite Wrestling history. Tonight is the final AEW Dynamite show before their biggest PPV ever via All In London, and the head of the company, Tony Khan, has been making all sorts of statements to hype up the event. For example, yesterday, he held a press conference breaking down the event and showcasing how excited the company was about what was about to happen. But then, just before the new day dawned, he dropped another announcement about AEW Fight Forever that fans will want to hear.
As you’ll witness in the video below, Tony Khan, alongside wrestlers Kenny Omega and Eddie Kingston, the game will be getting the Stadium Stampede mode within the next few hours. They said 24 hours, but that was when they dropped the announcement at around midnight, so it’s a lot less now.
The video also contained plenty of new footage showcasing the stadium you’ll be fighting in and all the chaos you can create alongside other players. You’ll not only be doing wrestling moves, but you can fight anywhere, use almost everything to beat up foes until they’re eliminated, and so on. Watch the promo/reveal below:
Stadium Stampede is a very unique part of AEW history. It was born during the earliest parts of the pandemic era. At the time, AEW was building towards what they felt would be one of their biggest and best matches via Blood & Guts, but they held that back as they didn’t want to have one of their biggest matches in front of no people outside the AEW locker room.
So, given they were in Jacksonville and Tony Khan’s father owned the Jacksonville Jaguars, they pivoted and created Stadium Stampede. They went All Out, pun intended, to make the match something like you’ve never seen before, and they succeeded. The original Stadium Stampede is hailed as one of the best things to come out of the pandemic era and one of the best things AEW has ever done. The sequel was equally as beloved, and at All In London, we’re getting the third-ever Stadium Stampede match, albeit with 80,000+ fans in the stadium as they participate in the madness.
So, for AEW Fight Forever to get the mode before the massive PPV event is a big win. So keep your eyes on your purchased copy so you can dive in when it becomes available.
