ARIKA fighting game launches in N. America, Europe, Japan for PS4 in 2018

ARIKA began streaming a new teaser video for its Fighting EX Layer PlayStation 4 fighting game. The video hints at a new fighter who resembles Cracker Jack. Like other characters in the game, Cracker Jack previously appeared in the Street Fighter EX games.

The game is slated for simultaneous release in North America, Europe, and Japan in 2018. ARIKA ran an open beta test for the game last month for two weeks.

Previously announced characters include Kairi, Shirase/Hokuto, Garuda, Skullomania, Darun Mister, Allen Snider, and Doctrine Dark. The company has also teased Blair Dame. All the characters have previously appeared in Street Fighter EX games.

The game will be the newest installment in ARIKA's EX series, which previously included the Street Fighter EX games.

ARIKA revealed the game with a video last year on April 1 as an "April Fool's Day" joke.
