Meanwhile, AEW’s SVP of video games, Nik Sobic, admitted it was a challenging task to “try and capture the spirit of Owen Hart” in AEW’s first console video game, but his team and the rest of the AEW roster were ultimately satisfied with their efforts. In fact, Sobic revealed that his team understandably prioritized the Owen Hart character over every other AEW wrestler. 

“Every character in this game was treated equally, but I would say there’s a standard — maybe Owen Hart got a little extra love,” Sobic said. “But that’s okay, because Dr. Hart and the team — everyone’s a wrestling fan and an Owen Hart fan, and it was like a labor of love type [of] thing.” Sobic would go on to detail Dr. Hart’s involvement in the creation of the “Fight Forever” character.  “It’s been a pleasure to work with Dr. Martha Hart, and how involved she’s been in this game, and how involved she’s been in acclimating to the AEW family,” Sobic stressed. 

In conclusion, Sobic described Hart’s character as “very well balanced” and urged gamers to give Hart a look if they were “trying to figure out” their person. “It’s worth a shot. I hope the fans enjoy it.” AEW Fight Forever officially hit video game consoles and PCs on June 29.
