Tekken 7 Josie pro Adnan “Blackbeard” Zaman has been making waves in the European Tekken scene for years, perhaps most notably when he pulled off a major upset in 2017 by defeating odds-on-favorite Tissuemon at Paris Games Week. He’s consistently kept top placements since then, so it’s no surprise to see that he’s now snagged himself a nice sponsorship via Equinox Gaming:
No ketchup! Just sauce!

The new Holiday costumes aren’t the only outfits coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on November 27th; Capcom has just revealed a batch of Resident Evil Crossover Costumes that allow you to dress up Cammy as Jill Valentine, Kolin as Ada Wong, and Urien as the nefarious Albert Wesker.
While prior Crossover Costume campaigns have been mixed between Extra Battle challenges and Premium DLC to purchase, it isn’t yet clear if these will be earned through the Extra Battle mode, or only offered for sale in the Shop, or some of both. We’ll find out when these launch next week — or if they post further details on Capcom-Unity before then!

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the BlazBlue franchise, with the first game BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger first hitting Japanese arcades back in November 20, 2008. As part of the celebration, series creator Toshimichi Mori left a message on the official site that may be hinting at a new title in the franchise.
In his message, Mori states “For everyone looking forward to BlazBlue in the future, I hope to once again return to the feelings I had 10 years ago and impart the memories of battle into a new BlazBlue…” He continues saying “Specifically, with things like BlazBlue: Alternative Dark War (the smartphone game) and ‘[Redacted] [Redacted]Blue (Temporary).’ Please look forward to them.”
It’s that last line that’s the most interesting as he seems to straight up drop a redacted title for an in development BlazBlue game. It becomes even more interesting when looking at the original Japanese, where the title reads ○○ッ○○○○・○○○○ブルー, showing the exact number of characters in the title (as well as the katakana for “tsu”).
Of course, this could be anything related to the BlazBlue franchise, and not another fighting game. That said, the timing of the tease with the series’ anniversary seems hard to ignore. We’ll likely learn more about this in the near future — maybe even at ArcRevo Japan this weekend.

It’s getting close to that time of year, so naturally Capcom has announced 2018’s batch of Holiday DLC costumes for Street Fighter V. This year the spotlight is on the majority of the Season 3 roster, with Sakura, Blanka, Falke, and Cody getting a variety of outfits fit for a winter wonderland:
Expect to pay the usual prices ($3.99 each) for Premium Costume DLC for these — it’s not yet confirmed if they will be available in a bundle like some recent costume releases. When exactly will these costumes be available? According to Capcom:
Cody on the streets is frightful, but Sakura is delightful.
Since Falke has learned to let go, Blanka glows, Blanka glows, Blanka glows!
Celebrate with festive holiday costumes for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on November 27!

There’s been a lot of speculation and anticipation for NetherRealm’s Next Mortal Kombat game. With The Game Awards fast approaching, many believe that the next MK is going to be announced there.
Now, a voice actor who’s worked on the Spanish version of Mortal Kombat X has made some tweets that hint at the new game. In a recent tweet, Lalo Garza, the Spanish voice of Reptile and Kung Lao in Mortal Kombat X, stated that he was sad that he wouldn’t be able to voice those characters again in “Mortal Kombat XI.”
Pues finalmente confirmo que los “profesionales” de @PINKNOISEloc decidieron quitarme mis personajes de #MortalKombatXI. Que triste que una empresa que quise mucho termine tomando decisiones que los afectan tanto a ustedes, los consumidores. Adiós Kung Lao y Reptile.

He later follows this up with a clarification, stating that he doesn’t really know if the game is called “Mortal Kombat XI”. However, he does state that there is something being made, and that his disappointment comes from not being called on to voice those characters.

Of course, this isn’t confirmation that a new Mortal Kombat is going to be announced at the Awards, or even soon. However, this does add to the mounting pile of evidence — including Ed Boon himself confirming that NetherRealm is working on a new game — that a new MK is coming.
