Japanese developer Arika has announced a Windows PC version of Fighting EX Layer.

The PC version of the game is coming via Steam, however the above trailer gives a vague release window either later this year or possibly next year – as well as 4K support.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

EX series came back…

…with the NEW system and changed into a NEW Fighting Game! Say goodbye to the complicated command input. The intuitive command called “Progressive” will make you play the exact way you want. Players used to traditional style are able to play by using “Classic” command input (but we recommend Progressive Mode!). Needless to say, there is Online play. Equipped Ranking system and Leader Board. Training Mode is also substantial. Also, there is “Casual Match” where you can fight with your friend 1 on 1 via the network!

The original characters from our EX series have powered up and come back for the first time in about 20 years!! You get to see the NEW “Skullo Dream”! Lovely Hokuto changed to Beauty Shirase! The original characters: Kairi, Shirase, Hokuto, Garuda, Skullomania, Darun Mister, Allen Snider, Doctrine Dark, Blair Dame, Jack, Shadowgeist, Sanane, Hayate…and maybe more!?

The new system called “GOUGI” is the key to play this game! By meeting certain requirements, the GOUGI will activate, and your character will gain new powers that last until the end of the match. 5 GOUGI make up 1 Deck, and each Deck is different. For example, in the case of using “Infinity” Deck; after activating Super Combos 10 times, you will be able to use Super Combos anytime you want! 5 types of GOUGI Decks are included by default, and other 10 types of Decks can be purchased by additional contents. The way you play will be changed by the GOUGI even with the same character. Find one that suits your playstyle and win!!

Expert Mode

Traditional Mode from EX series is here! There are 16 tasks for each character from simple ones to super challenging ones. Let’s clear one by one!
