ARIKA to host a special Fighting EX Layer livestream with Street Fighter II creator Akira Nishitani

ARIKA seems to be on a roll with Fighting EX Layer; not only is it a great fighter, but it’s sold well enough that it’s getting its first batch of free DLC characters. With this, some may be wondering what’s on the horizon for this new fighter.

Well, we may get some answers soon. ARIKA will be hosting a special live stream with Daigo Umehara’s BeasTV on July 19 at 8:00 PM JST, or 4:00 AM Pacific. The stream will mark the first official stream from them since the game’s launch, and will feature none other than Street Fighter II creator — and ARIKA co-founder — Akira Nishitani.

As for the contents of the stream: the announcement video for the stream indicates that they’ll be showing off DLC characters Pullum Purna and Vulcano Rosso in-game for the first time.

Fighting EX Layer is now available for purchase on PlayStation 4.
