There’s a good chance this could be a very active and enlightening event. The last presentation ended up being a forum for multiple announcements. We learned about things like the Soulcalibur VI Setsuka DLC, Tekken 7 Season Pass 4, and Samurai Shodown Season Pass 3.

Japan Fighting Game Publisher Roundtable 2 will be held at 9pm PT on February 20, 2021 and 12am ET/6am CET/2pm JST on February 21, 2021.
