This roundtable will include a slew of the fighting game developers from Japan from AAA companies to indie. This will be in part with Japanese Gaming Federation. The roundtable will focus on eSports and updates about their current fighting games on the market.

The event will be streamed on their respective Twitch and YouTube channels at 9:00 AM JST/ 7:00 PM CST. Hopefully we get some trailers for the next updates for all these games. Since E3 and Evo 2020 were cancelled, we’ve yet to hear what the next chapter will be. Fans are encouraged to submit questions and topics via Twitter with the hashtag #JFGPR.
