ARIKA drops short Fighting EX Layer trailer showing off updated UI, plans to bring game to Combo Breaker 2018

Chomping at the bit for some more Fighting EX Layer news? Don’t worry, ARIKA feels that way, too. They just dropped a short trailer on their YouTube channel that shows off trophies and the latest updates on their UI…

… and also, perhaps more importantly, revealed their future endeavors via their Facebook. While they are moving steadily towards the QA phase, ARIKA has revealed their plans to bring the game to Combo Breaker 2018. They’ve also reiterated their hopes for a release at the end of June of this year — things sound pretty optimistic for FEXL’s development thus far!

We apologize for the lack of updates.

Currently, it is the period of No Debug verification, and having play-tests with no problem. *Scheduled until the middle of May.

This is ARIKA’s internal rules, and after passing this, we submit the master to each area and proceed with QA.

Unless there is a big problem, we think we could release it on the announced schedule.

1) PS4: 720p resolution with shader level 1
PS4 pro: 1080p resolution with shader level 3

2) Scheduled to be released worldwide, within a 24-hour window.
(Chinese/Korean launch are still TBA)
It will launch with English and Japanese language options.

3) Legacy controllers do not correspond.

4) It will be released by the end of June.

At the moment, we are preparing a playable build (including 12 characters and 5 Gougi decks) for players to try at Combo Breaker 2018.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

– Kongregate ‘Kartridge’ Gaming Platform to Provide Developer-Friendly Revenue

When Kongregate launches its gaming platform, Kartridge, it will provide developers with some pretty impressive financial reasons to consider it as an exclusive distribution platform for their games. “One of our goals with Kartridge is to help independent developers succeed, and these bonus terms are a way for developers to jumpstart their earnings,” said CEO Emily Greer. Kongregate feels that these bonuses provide indies with financial traction for games on release.
