That Bloody Roar 5 News Wasn't Real

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.

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.
