Teaser Trailer

When it was revealed during the AEW Games announcement in November of 2020, AEW also provided us with an official Teaser Trailer for AEW Elite GM.

This trailer provided our first glimpse at AEW Elite GM, and you could already see some of the core art style and gameplay that they've continued to reveal since then.

Gameplay Trailer

We got another sneak peek during the AEW Games 2.Show episode in January, but it was the release on February 25, 2020 that provided the best pre-release look at the title.

After giving a preview of the gameplay in the larger episode, AEW Games unveiled the official Core Gameplay Trailer for AEW Elite GM.

While the art style and overall feel of the game is consistent with the early view in the teaser trailer, there are definite improvements in even this pre-alpha footage that show the game became more polished.

AEW Referee and Project Lead for AEW Elite GM Aubrey Edwards talks viewers through the Core Gameplay Trailer, explaining how the cost of signing wrestlers to your roster will be influenced by their in-game stats.

Crystallized Games on board as AEW Elite GM developer

While a relatively new studio, AEW Elite GM is not the first project for Crystallized Games, which was founded in 2016.
