Arc System Works announced it will stream the "ARC SYSTEM WORKS Showcase 2026" on June 25 at 6:00 AM. The presentation will deliver the latest information on titles the studio develops and publishes, including "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-" and "UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH." The showcase follows the 2025 edition, which introduced new projects such as Daisuke Ishiwatari's "DAMON and BABY," "Dear me, I was...," and "Demons Night Fever." The stream will be available on the company's official channels. No specific runtime or list of titles for this year's broadcast has been given yet. The announcement was made via the company's official social media on June 18.
The showcase was announced via a post on Arc System Works' official X (formerly Twitter) account on June 18. The post included a short video clip but did not specify a runtime or a full list of titles for the broadcast. The company's official channels will carry the stream.
Last year's inaugural showcase introduced three new projects: Daisuke Ishiwatari's top-down gun action adventure "DAMON and BABY," the narrative-driven "Dear me, I was...," and "Demons Night Fever." "DAMON and BABY" has since been released. The 2025 event also featured updates on "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-" and "UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH," both of which are confirmed to appear again in the 2026 broadcast.
Arc System Works is primarily known for its fighting game franchises, including "Guilty Gear" and "BlazBlue," but the 2025 showcase signaled a broader push into action-adventure and story-focused titles. The studio has not indicated whether this year's event will follow a similar pattern of revealing new intellectual properties.
