BlazBlue Central Fiction and Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- are on sale on Steam until July 21st

Arc System Works had a great year at Evo 2017, thanks in combination to the pop from Jubei, BlazBlue Cross Tag, and their nail-biting grand finals. They’ve decided to ride that high to reach new players — if PC is your platform, and you’re still on the fence about ArcSys, pay attention.

BlazBlue Central Fiction, has been marked down by 20% to $31.99. Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- has been marked down by 24% to $22.79. Note that -REVELATOR- is the base game that can be upgraded to the latest version, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2; the REV 2 upgrade itself is not on sale presently.

“Behind The Scenes” trailer for Tekken 7’s Geese Howard features Harada meeting SNK Executives

The reveal of SNK’s iconic villain Geese Howard as Tekken 7‘s latest DLC character was one of the most shocking — and crowd-pleasing — announcements of Evo 2017. Perhaps it shouldn’t have been, though: Harada said he wanted South Town’s king in his game over a year ago in an interview with GameRevolution.

The latest “Behind The Scenes” trailer for Geese doesn’t add anything new for the character itself that we didn’t already see in the Evo trailer. It does, however, feature a skit with Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada meeting with SNK executives and mulling over possible character picks. The torturous part of this trailer, perhaps, is the fact because of the nature of Harada’s teasing, this could be a hint at any number of future collaborations: several SNK characters are mulled over, including Samurai Shodown’s Galford.

It could also mean nothing. After all, data mining (and meetings!) led us to believe we’d see Sol Badguy as the Tekken reveal:

Which isn’t off the table, necessarily, given Harada’s close interactions with Arc System Works lately, as well. It’s getting more and more difficult to tell, though, whether Harada is just mastering the troll art of Red Herrings, or if some of these things are actually hints/leaks at all…
