The Qanba Obsidian fight stick rapidly became a very popular controller in the FGC, and with good reason: it’s one of the best options on the market. Now, Qanba has partnered with Project Soul and Bandai Namco to announce a new version of the arcade stick — coming in October 2019 — that warriors returning to the Stage of History will want to take notice of!

The new SoulCalibur VI Qanba Obsidian sports all of the functional features of the stock Obsidian, but with some gorgeous new panel artwork — designed by Kaydie — that compliments the already stylish look of the Obsidian very nicely.

Nicalis’ latest Blade Strangers trailer lets you catch up with the game’s cast of indie characters

Hot on the heels of the announcement of the game’s Japanese release date, Nicalis has followed up with a new video for indie crossover fighter Blade Strangers.

The new video showcases all of the characters from various indie game titles (as well as a few original characters) that are joining Blade Strangers. This is basically a recap of all the individual character trailers that the company has released for the game. Sadly however, the trailer still doesn’t reveal exactly when the game is launching in the West.

Blade Strangers hits PlayStation 4 and Switch on October 30 in Japan, followed by a Western release on PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC sometime in the summer.
