Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves first free Street Fighter crossover DLC character, Ken, arrived earlier this week. Beyond SNK starting to pay Capcom back for adding Fatal Fury characters Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui in Street Fighter 6, it seems that Ken’s inclusion is also teasing a new SNK vs. Capcom game. The hint takes place during the ending of Ken’s arcade mode, specifically during the stinger — the post-credits scene — after the ending proper.

One major concern players from some regions have regarding Sony and Arc System Works’ Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is that it’s region-locked on Steam. However, it seems that Sony is aware of the issue and is looking to address it. Region locking has long been an issue with a number of Sony-published games on Steam. This is due to the fact that not all countries are officially supported on Sony’s PlayStation Network.

Hoyoverse just announced that support for the Genshin Impact‘s PlayStation 4 version will be discontinued by next year.

Even while the C. Viper trailer was leaked, Capcom still had one more Street Fighter 6 trailer to drop at Evo 2025. This latest video finally shows the game’s upcoming swimsuits for select characters in action. When the “Outfit 4” swimsuits were first revealed last June, all Capcom dropped was some art of the new costumes. Now, fans finally get to see them in action in-game.

The Invincible VS team dropped a new trailer at Evo 2025, showcasing Omni-Man. That Omni-Man would be in Invincible VS is a no-brainer, considering how important  he is to the show. As such, the trailer below dispenses with introducing him, instead showing off all the cool and brutal things he can do in the game. In particular, the trailer below shows off more than a few moves and sequences taken straight out of the hit Amazon show.

At Evo 2025, Bandai Namco revealed that Tekken 8 would be getting a brand new character later this year – Miari Zo from Madagascar. Miari Zo, the fourth and final character for the game’s second season pass, was revealed at the end of the new gameplay trailer for Armor King that was shown before the game’s top 8 matches at the tournament. (Read: Tekken 8 Season Two’s next character is Fahkumram) Sadly, no actual gameplay of Tekken 8‘s new character was shown.

At Evo 2025, Sega finally gave fans a glimpse of the new Virtua Fighter game’s actual gameplay. The video below, which shows returning character Akira and new character Stella, shows gameplay that looks very much in line with how the series has played over the years.

The initial reveal trailer showed action that was more akin to a Hong Kong kung-fu movie, and this new trailer retains that feel.

The Street Fighter 6 trailer for returning DLC character C. Viper was inadvertently released early by PlayStation YouTube Channel. The trailer, which was likely meant to be shown sometime during Street Fighter 6‘s finals at Evo 2025 later today, shows what the CIA agent has been upto since she her last playable appearance in Street Fighter IV. As expected, C. Viper returns because she’s investigating the possible return of the criminal organization Shadaloo, led by M. Bison.
