Arc System Works’ showcase, held on June 27, 2025, revealed five new projects that the studio is currently working on. No new fighting game was announced despite Daisuke Ishiwatari, creator of the Guilty Gear franchise, announcing a project during the showcase.
The five new projects the studio is working on are:
- Dear me, I was | Showcase Trailer
- Demon’s Night Fever | Teaser Trailer
- Bubble Bobble: Sugar Dungeons | Showcase Trailer
- Double Dragon Revive | Showcase Trailer
- Damon and Baby | Reveal Trailer
Ishiwatari’s new project is called Damon and Baby, and it’s not a fighting game but an action game. A small gameplay snippet was shown in the showcase, but not much to learn from. Arc System Works’ official X account said that the game is about a demon king cursed to never be able to leave a human child, and he’s doing all he can to remove the curse.
Another interesting showcase was Dear me, I was, an interactive adventure game. According to the accompanying post by the developers, the game is about the life of a woman. Players will relive her life through its ups and downs. The game will use rotoscoping technology, a departure from 3D or 2D technology usually used in visual or kinetic novels.
The only game that was shown at the event that’s remotely close to a fighting game is Double Dragon Revive, which had already been announced before. However, this showcase confirmed that Double Dragon Revive will also be released on the Nintendo Switch.
