The game’s Evo sale finally makes it to Europe and the Middle East.

Here’s some great news for players looking to pick up ARIKA’s excellent Fighting EX Layer. The game will be going on sale in a couple of weeks in those regions.

To celebrate, Fighting EX Layer getting an official side tournament at Evo 2018, ARIKA put the game on sale a couple of weeks ago. However, that sale only applied to North America and Japan when it first dropped; now, the company is finally bringing this sale over to Europe and the Middle East.

Starting from September 5, and running all the way until September 19, Fighting EX Layer‘s standard version will be subject to a 27% discount (or 37% for PS Plus subscribers). Meanwhile, the Light version will be subject to a similar 28% discount (43% for PS Plus subscribers).

For those wondering, ARIKA has given out a list of countries the discounts will be available in.

Of course, this isn’t the only thing coming to Fighting EX Layer in September. A balance patch will be arriving at the same time as the sale. Meanwhile, Pullum Purna and Vulcano Rosso are coming to the game as free DLC around that time as well!

Show your support for the Tekken World Tour with in-game T-shirts for your favorite fighters!

Season 2 of Tekken 7  is fast-approaching on Thursday, September 6th. It’s already confirmed that we’ll be receiving balance changes, new Rage Drives and moves for certain fighters, a new Wall Bound mechanic that will be available to the entire roster, and six new fighters throughout the season — including series veterans Anna Williams and Lei Wulong, as well as Negan from AMC’s The Walking Dead. However, there hasn’t been much news in the way of customization items, until now.

The game’s Japanese website, Tekken Official, has recently released a series of screenshots of new Customization Items that will be exclusive to the second Season Pass. In total, there will be three new sets of cosmetic items:

• TEKKEN World Tour Set, which provides official T-shirts with the TWT logo to every character in the game (except for Kuma, Panda and Final Fantasy XV’s Noctis Lucis Caelum), TEKKEN World Tour style customizations for Kuma and Panda, and the Fighting King’s Raiment (TEKKEN World Tour version) costume, that will be made available for download at a separate and later date.
• Summer Lesson Set: originally released in Arcades back on April 4th, these items will finally be available to console players in what appears to be the same form as their Arcade counterparts, which includes:
  • Hikari Miyamoto Summer School Wear costumes for Asuka, Kazumi, Josie, and Eliza
  • Allison Snow Summer Knit & Denim costumes for Xiaoyu, Katarina, Master Raven, and Nina
  • Chisato Shinjo Summer Dark Blouse costumes for Lili, Lucky Chloe, and Alisa
  • Summer Lesson collaboration interface: Summer Lesson Gauge, Summer Lesson Plate, Summer Lesson Panel
  • Upper Accessory “Fluffy Allison” item (usable by all characters)
  • Upper Accessory “Fluffy Chisato” item (usable by all characters)
  • Upper Accessory “Fluffy Hikari” item (usable by all characters)
  • Female Character Hairstyles: Hikari Summer Tail, Allison Summer Medium, Chisato Summer Short
• Hit Effect Set: Imitative Sound Effects (4 pieces), Feather Effects (6 pieces), Dot Character Effects (3 pieces), Chicken Mark Effect.

These are dubbed as an “extra bonus” for players who purchase the second Season Pass, and the majority of these items will be available when Season 2 officially begins on Thursday, September 6th. You can view a gallery of screenshots below.
