A partnership meaning more prize money for competitors and special swag for attendees!
Aksys Games — in conjunction with Arc System Works — is proud to announce their partnership with Evo 2017 to support their featured air-dashing titles, BlazBlue: Central Fiction and Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2! Their booth at the event will offer everything from previews, playables, free swag, signings, and more!
To commemorate the appearance of both BlazBlue: Central Fiction and Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 as main tournaments at Evo 2017, Aksys Games and Arc System works are providing additional prize support: both titles will each receive a $10,000 pot bonus.
Showing your proof of entry into the BlazBlue or Guilty Gear tournaments at the Aksys booth will get you a commemorative bag (limit one per person!), and new merchandise made specifically for Evo will also be stocked at the booth. Additionally, Arc System Works developers Daisuke Ishiwatari and Toshimichi Mori will both be in attendance for exclusive signing sessions. Stay tuned for more details, coming soon.
Aksys Games and Arc System Works will be livestreaming from their booth via Nico Nico Douga (Japanese) or Twitch (English).
To top it off, if you want to represent North America at the Arc Revolution Cup this year, you’re in luck — Aksys Games has revealed they will be selecting two “Aksys Heroes” to lead a team of fighting game players to the Arc Revolution Cup. Rules and selection details still to come.
There’s still a couple of days to register for Evo! If you’re an ASW fan, this event just got even better for you, so don’t miss your shot! Registration closes on Friday, June 30. Evo 2017 takes place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 14-16.
