Fans of fighting games never really have a lack of great options to choose between (especially when you look at the last few years), and sure enough, there’ll be no lack of promising new games in the coming months and years either. Plenty of fighters are confirmed to be in development, offering experiences of different styles and scope, and here, we’re going to take a look at some that we have our eye on.

STREET FIGHTER 6

Obviously, we have to start fight Street Fighter 6. Capcom’s legendary fighting series will be back in June with a new mainline instalment, and everything that we’ve seen of it so far has looked excellent. From its expanded single player offerings to its mechanical tweaks and improvements to its suite of multiplayer content, Street Fighter 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the year.

Aksys Announces Blazing Strike, New Fighting Game Inspired by Arcade Classics

If you were lucky enough to play games in the heydey of the arcade, you’re familiar with fighting games that had pixel art and 2D sprites. That age is long gone, but a lot of those games have found second life in re-releases and remasters. It’s been a long time since we got a new fighter in that classic style, however.

That’s all about to change thanks to publisher Aksys Game and developer RareBreed Makes Games, who announced Blazing Strike, a 2D fighter in the classic style set to release next year. The game is set to mix classic elements and new gameplay mechanics.

“I was always fond of classic fighting games and I wanted to make a fun fighting game with an emphasis on mobility,” said Rarebreed founder Mark Chung. “Our goal is to create an homage to the classic pixel art-based 2D fighters, but with updated game mechanics that not only will bring nostalgia to 90’s arcade kids but will offer something new and entertaining to all gamers, regardless of whether they have played fighting games before.”

“Blazing Strike features a 4-button system with six normal attacks: light, medium and heavy punches and kicks, as well as three defense moves: block, guard and parry,” according to a press release. “A Rush Trigger enables fighters to execute fast-paced attacks and movements, but using it will slowly drain the Rush Meter, sending the character into a temporary groggy state. This allows players to execute exciting combos while having to manage the Rush Meter. The game will include three play modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode and VS Mode, with training, sparring and online match via Persona AI, and online play powered by GGPO.”

The game looks good and the description sounds interesting, especially since it will be using rollback netcode thanks to GGPO integration. Blazing Strike will release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC in spring 2022.

For as long as games have existed, the fighter genre has been a pillar of the industry, and though it’s not quite as much at the front and centre of things as it use to be decades ago, it still holds a great deal of value. Every year we get treated to excellent fighters and brawlers, and the coming months are looking no different. In this feature, we’ll be highlighting sixteen major fighting games – as well as a few brawlers an beat ’em ups – that are coming this year, or soon afterward (while also mentioning a couple that have already launched).

Without further ado then, let’s begin.

MORTAL KOMBAT 11

People have been looking forward to Mortal Kombat 11 for some time now, and after much anticipation, it’s finally almost here. Typically, it looks absolutely incredible. Promising much gore, Brutalities, and Fatalities, combined with what’s looking like a strong roster, as well as the kind of strong campaigns NeatherRealm Studios usually delivers, Mortal Kombat 11 is undoubtedly very close to the top of many most-anticipated lists.
