A new Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable is coming next week
Fighting games have been receiving a second wind as of late. Sure, the genre did get a kickstart in 2009 with Street Fighter IV. But as much as the genre has grown since then, signs of stagnation were present. Fast-forward to now, and we have a new entry in the Guilty Gear and The King of Fighters series, as well as another Street Fighter on the horizon. And now, a new Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable is coming next week. It brings together the heads of numerous fighting game developers to discuss the genre at present, and may provide glimpses into where it’s headed.
