During EVO 2022, Capcom showed off new trailers for Kimberly and Juri in Street Fighter VI and the inclusion of James Chen and Tasty Steve for the in-game commentary mode. Kimberly is a brand new character that uses ninja techniques and, according to Capcom, “blends together her skills as a ninja with her love for ‘80s pop culture.” Juri returns and showcases many returning moves from both Street Fighter V and Street Fighter IV.

Before the Top 8 portion of the Guilty Gear: Strive tournament at EVO 2022, Daisuke Ishiwatari joined the stage at Mandalay Bay to announce that Bridget will be the first season 2 DLC character for the title. This will be Bridget’s first appearance since Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R.

Souls. In and outside the realm of video games, that word would conjure up vastly different imagery. In our domain, it has become synonymous with one of the most unforgiving franchises in gaming history; so when a game brands itself as a “souls-like” game, naturally it will turn some heads and attract some challenge seekers. Lost Epic draws our attention not only with its offer of a challenge, but its beautiful anime-esque art style will pull in even those who shy away from adventure. 

Ahead of EVO 2022, Tom Cannon, Senior Director for Project L, Riot’s upcoming 2D fighter, has confirmed that the title will be free-to-play.

League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra players will already be familiar with this character.

Melty Blood: Type Lumina continues its practice of free DLC characters with two highly anticipated characters, Neco-Arc and Mash Kyrielight.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that adding a cat to almost anything on the internet is sure to garner more upvotes, likes, thumbs ups, or whatever internet point system is in vogue at the time. Likewise, former Ubisoft developers and BlueTwelve Studio founders, Koola and Viv were definitely onto something with the cat-centric Stray, which has garnered attention with its feline protagonist amidst the backdrop of a dystopian city. While many would jump at the opportunity to have the orange tabby of Stray as their companion, it may not immediately be clear how fun it would be to explore the city as the unclaimed felid. 

During its panel at this year's Comic-Con, Capcom unveiled the first alternate costumes for the game’s five officially revealed characters.

Namco Bandai has released a trailer for Dragon Ball: The Breakers that features Frieza. The title is an asymmetrical action game that pits four players as normal humans against an overpowered Dragon Ball baddie.

Oftentimes, when games tout a one-man development team, it is used as little more than a marketing scheme or to preemptively excuse the title’s shortcomings. In the case of Bright Memory: Infinite, an FPS action title from rookie developer Zeng Xian Cheng and studio FYQD, it comes across as a shocker that will grab any gamers’ attention with the game’s beautiful textures and exciting gameplay. 

Publisher NIS America has dropped a new gameplay trailer for The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero. It showcases some of the characters' attacks, character customization options, and team attacks. Interested adventurers can learn more about the game at its official website here.
