Have an idea for a mod? Great! AEW Fight Forever does not officially support mods, but thanks to community members we've added modding support to the game through a custom launcher.
Before getting started modding, we highly recommend you familiarize yourself with Unreal Engine generally. Almost everything you would like to mod, will require some familiarity with the base engine that the game was built in.
Secondly, there is an excellent primer on modding Unreal Engine games generally, not specific to this game, available here. There are also a vast array of tools available for modding Unreal games that might be useful here.
This is what we haven't figured out so far -- but that doesn't mean they're impossible! Jump in and help us crack these open.
Before you start modding AEW: Fight Forever there are a number of tools you may wish to install based on the type of mod you're trying to create.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Unreal Engine 4.27 | The game engine that the game runs on is required to build mods |
| FModel | Datamining, extracting and converting assets from the game |
| Blender | Open source 3d modeling program, necessary for any model editing |
| UE4SS | Live debugging of the game, and header dumping |
This list is not exhaustive, and individual tutorials may require specific tools for the job at hand.
The AES key for use in FModel and other tools is:
