This year&#8217;s edition airs simultaneously across two streams on <strong>Wednesday, 24 June at 2:00 PM PT (5:00 PM ET)<\/strong>, which converts to <strong>Thursday, 25 June at 5:00 AM SGT<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O35L47MclfE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English broadcast<\/a> \u2014 Arc System Works America on YouTube<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d1gWD9--ZeQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japanese broadcast<\/a> \u2014 Arc System Works on YouTube<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ArcSys has kept the line-up tightly under wraps, describing the event only as featuring &#8220;the latest information on a variety of titles developed and published by Arc System Works.&#8221; Classic ArcSys energy \u2014 they let the surprise do the talking.<\/p>\n<h2>What Could Be Announced?<\/h2>\n<p>Without confirmed slots, these are the titles most likely to feature based on their current active status:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Guilty Gear -STRIVE-<\/strong> \u2014 The flagship anime fighter has received multiple seasons of DLC characters and ongoing updates since its 2021 launch. A new season reveal here would be no surprise at all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising<\/strong> \u2014 ArcSys&#8217;s 2023 crossover fighter has been steadily expanding its roster; more Granblue characters are always in play.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dragon Ball FighterZ<\/strong> \u2014 ArcSys&#8217;s most broadly popular title. Any announcement here makes instant headlines worldwide.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes<\/strong> \u2014 The deeper cut for hardcore 2D fighting game fans who have been waiting on news.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A new game reveal<\/strong> \u2014 Last year&#8217;s showcase unveiled <em>Demon &amp; Baby<\/em>, a new action project from director Isao Shibuya. At least one new title announcement feels like a safe bet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treat that list as informed speculation rather than confirmed slots.

The broadcast will be available as a VOD on both channels once it ends, so you can catch everything at a more civilised hour \u2014 just be careful with social media until you do, because something is almost certainly going to make noise.<\/p>\n<h2>Why This Matters for Singapore&#8217;s FGC<\/h2>\n<p>Arc System Works titles are a cornerstone of the local fighting game scene. <em>Guilty Gear -STRIVE-<\/em> is a regular fixture at FGC events across Singapore and Southeast Asia, and <em>Dragon Ball FighterZ<\/em> consistently draws some of the biggest casual player turnout in the region. Whatever drops at Showcase 2026 \u2014 a fresh season of characters, a surprise new IP, a port announcement \u2014 will land right in the middle of an active, hungry local community.<\/p>\n<p>For more local gaming events and FGC coverage, check our <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/event\/\">events page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Last Words<\/h2>\n<p>5 AM on a Thursday is a hard ask, but ArcSys showcases earn the early alarm.
