Street Fighter EX developer, ARIKA, is coming to EVO 2017 along with its new game in a playable state.
The studio teased something back on April Fools’ Day (video above), which many understandably thought was a joke. It wasn’t. The “mystery fighting game” appears to be using the same build that was used in that video, with Hokuto, Kairi, and Galda from Street Fighter EX being playable characters. You can check out the latest announcement below, straight from ARIKA’s Facebook page (verbatim):
