« Arika names Fighting EX Layer, public beta starts Dec. 11 »

The "Mysterious Fighting Game" has been given a name, and players will be able to try out Arika's newest fighter in early December 2017.

According to the PlayStation blog, Arika has given its forthcoming title the name Fighting EX Layer, and the game will come home in a public beta starting on Dec. 11.

During the two-week event, players will get to explore Kairi, Garuda, Skullomania, Darun Mister, Allen Snider and Shirase as they test the game's online functionality. In addition, players attending the PlayStation Experience on Dec. 9-10 will get a chance to play the demo early.

There are no details on what Gougi will be usable during demo. For the entire brief interview with Arika's Akira "NIN" Nishitani where he discusses the purpose of the Gougi system, check out the PlayStation Blog. The post also features a new video featuring Shirase in her new design.

Fighting EX Layer is coming to PlayStation 4 sometime in 2018.
