Indie Horror-Fighter Omen of Sorrow to reveal launch date, and two new characters, on July 24th

We’ve entered a strange era where companies routinely reveal release dates for release date revelations. AOne Games, developers of indie horror-fighter Omen of Sorrow, is the most recent example of this in their interview with portal13.com:

I know you’ve said Q3 for a release date. Could you give us a month or a date?

Budinich: We are going to announce the launch date on July 24th. Along with two new characters.

Outside of this revelation, there was a healthy amount of discussion in regards to the game’s mechanics and development — from the standpoint of both designers and fighting game players. Anyone interested in how a fighting game can come together with just four designers should absolutely check out the interview here.

Want to play against the CPU? An arcade mode may be in the works for Fighting EX Layer — meanwhile, try Kumite mode

More gameplay options might be coming for ARIKA’s new fighter.

Fighting EX Layer is finally here, now available for download from the PlayStation Store. However, those that want to mash buttons against CPU-controlled opponents might find the included gameplay modes a little lacking: there are no Arcade or Survival modes included in the game’s current build.

But — that may be changing in the future:

It definitely looks like we can expect some kind of expansion for the title to be announced in the future, according to ARIKA’s Mihara-san. In the meantime, you can play the Kumite mode, which is tucked into the Training mode options; head to the Opponent tab in the training options and set CPU Format to “Kumite” to fight rotating CPU enemies in the training room.
