The publication site also noted that the company will hold a free-play event at its #111 booth on July 14th and 15th, which the event will be used to test a new system in the game called “Gougi”. We also learn from the site that the game will only be playable in Vs. mode, with two players playing per turn, using character such as Hokuto, Kairi, and Garuda.

Instead of wasting your time rambling on about what the event and game will feature, below lies very early gameplay footage showing the game in action.

Lastly, Arika will also setup an online session that is used for collecting feedback on what people think of the mystery fighting game. As noted above, you can learn more about the game by hitting up Arika’s Twitter acount.
