Japan Fighting Game Publisher Roundtable #2 Livestream

Bandai Namco Entertainment have announced the second Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable, discussing fighting games and eSports.

As stated in the press release, the livestream will feature producers and directors from Arc System Works, Arika, SNK Corporation, Capcom, and Bandai Namco Entertainment itself; discussing fighting games, the industry, eSports news, and surprises.

Bandai Namco Entertainment will be bringing Tekken 7 producer Michael Murray as host, as well as Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken series director), and Naoya Yasuda (eSports producer).

The Japan Fighting Game Publisher Roundtable #2 Livestream premieres February 20th at 9:00 p.m. PST via Twitch.

The first roundtable was held in late July 2020, and acted as an outlet for new fighting game and DLC character reveals amid a difficult time. Many physical events, conventions, and tournaments had to be cancelled, due to becoming unviable due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

In addition, EVO Online was cancelled, due to multiple allegations of sexual harassment and abuse made against co-founder and then CEO Joey “MrWizard” Cuellar and other prominent members of the fighting game community. As the allegations came to light, multiple publishers and developers pulled support.
