What Arc System Works may reveal this week
The event could bring Ishiwatari's next project, Guilty Gear updates, and hints at long-dormant fighting game franchises.
In brief
The event could bring Ishiwatari's next project, Guilty Gear updates, and hints at long-dormant fighting game franchises. Expect firm news on Ishiwatari and Guilty Gear Strive, while Marvel Tokon, Granblue, Under Night, and BlazBlue remain educated guesses. Originally reported by EventHubs.
Arc sets the stage
Arc System Works has a broadcast coming, with details promised for current games, new titles, and Daisuke Ishiwatari's next project.
“details on what's coming up from them in the near future”
Ishiwatari could surprise
Ishiwatari is tied to Guilty Gear, but his next work may not be a straight fighting game. It could be another odd spin on the series, or something else entirely.
“there's no guarantee that it'll be a fighting game”
Lucy feels likely
Guilty Gear Strive's next character is already known: Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. New footage or release info feels like one of the safest bets.
“crossover character Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners”
Marvel depends on Sony
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls would fit the event, but Arc is only developing it. Sony controls publishing, so it may keep marketing for a separate reveal.
“it's simply not up to Arc System Works”
Granblue may wait
Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising has Wilnas due in summer 2025. CyGames often shares its own updates, though its close fighting game ties to Arc leave the door open.
“Wilnas set for Summer 2025”
Izumi could appear
Under Night In-Birth 2 is published by Arc, even though French Bread develops it. Izumi was last shown in March, so gameplay ahead of her August release would make sense.
“actual gameplay footage of her”
New titles loom
Arc teased new titles, and fighting game fans will look first to BlazBlue, dormant since Central Fiction. Another licensed fighter, even Persona 5: Arena, is also possible.
“new titles”
What matters most
Expect firm news on Ishiwatari and Guilty Gear Strive, while Marvel Tokon, Granblue, Under Night, and BlazBlue remain educated guesses.
