That Bloody Roar 5 News Wasn't Real

by on

Some jerk decided to mess with people on an official sounding account.

Bloody Roar's signature thing was characters who were able to transform into animals.
Bloody Roar's signature thing was characters who were able to transform into animals.

You may not remember Bloody Roar, but you probably remember a fighting series with animals! That was Bloody Roar, and fans were spun into a frenzy on Friday afternoon when a seemingly official Twitter account from developer Hudson Soft declared Bloody Roar 5 a reality.

Just days later, the news has been debunked; whoever's in control of that account post-Konami takeover was simply screwing with people.

"Sorry people," read an update just hours ago. "Just wanted to show @Konami that their is still fans of #BloodyRoar."

Dream another day, Bloody Roar fans.

Bloody Roar was (is?) a fighting franchise published by Hudson Soft, starting with an arcade release in 1997. Bloody Roar 4 was released on 2003 on PlayStation 2.

I played so much Bloody Roar 3. Probably because I was 9 and it was the first real fighting game I'd ever touched, but still.

Ugh, Pee Klep I thought better of you. Intentionally adding typos to quoted material in order to discredit their source is a pretty shady tactic.

Twitterjacking. It's a thing I guess.

What a shocking development! Twitter has always been the shining beacon of trust, truth and integrity.

I was kinda excited when the news broke but I can't say I'm all that disappointed in the truth.

I knew it! Called it!

Hudson soft died a few months back anyway. The remaining company is only concerned in publishing small apps in Japan only :/

There, their & they´re

are all interchangeable!

Who cares, it was Bloody Roar this dude was talking about. That game sucked hard on PS1, it will suck even harder today.

I was not really interested in playing another Bloody Roar game but this trend of game related Twitter nonsense is really weird.

I wonder if the use of social media will mature over time.

While this is kind of a jerk move, I do have to admit that he got his point across, he did show people that there is still a lot of love for that game and it could very well end up leading to something.
