Arc System Works to Donate Part of March Earnings Towards Ongoing Tohoku Earthquake Relief Efforts

Four years ago, Japan suffered one of its deadliest earthquakes to date. The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami left thousands dead, even more homeless, and was also cause of one of the worst nuclear power disasters in history.

To assist those who are still suffering from the effects of this catastrophe, Arc System Works recently announced that they will be donating a portion of their earnings from March to the ongoing relief effots. The specific amount and the charities who will be receiving aid have yet to be announced.

The disaster had far-reaching consequences even in the video game industry, with many development teams having to stop work on projects due to the effects of the disaster (such as Marvel vs. Capcom 3’s planned downloadable content, resulting in Ultimate’s release later that year).

We here at Shoryuken applaud Arc System Works for their generosity.

A tale of the twisting of a mind that would drive even the most grounded of heroes to their knees with madness. From this madness echoes the launch of Elsword’s new Job path or class update and the continued story-arch for the delightfully twisted character Add.
