A new rumor is circulating about Arc System Works, the legendary fighting game developer, working on a new title for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The leak comes from X0X_LEAK, a source known for previously accurate information, including the Marvel Rivals game reveal. According to the leak, the new game is codenamed “Watari,” which roughly translates to “Cross.” It’s being developed using Unreal Engine 5.4 and is slated for release on November 25 on the Switch 2, although this date is subject to change.
A New Project or an Upgrade?
The big question is whether this is an entirely new game or an upgraded version/port of an existing title. Arc System Works is renowned for its work on popular fighting games. While details are scarce, the use of Unreal Engine 5.4 suggests a significant graphical overhaul. If an official announcement is made, we’ll provide updates.
The rumor has sparked interest among gaming enthusiasts, particularly those eagerly awaiting the Switch 2. While the information is still unconfirmed, the involvement of Arc System Works and the use of a recent game engine version suggest a potentially exciting new release.
