Bloody Roar 4 E3 2003 Preshow Report

Konami of America has today released the first information on Bloody Roar 4 for the PlayStation 2. The game, which is currently in development at Hudson, will see you taking control of one of 17 different fighters--including three that are brand new--that are capable of transforming into powerful hyperbeast characters. There'll be nine different interactive stages in which to fight in the game, as well as nine different gameplay modes, although details on these have not been released at this time.

Konami is promising that Bloody Roar 4 will introduce a number of new features to the series, the most intriguing of which is an option for you to customize your fighters in the game's development mode. In this mode, you'll earn "ability points" as you fight, and these can subsequently be spent on improving your character's stats or even acquiring opponents' moves.

Bloody Roar 4 is currently scheduled for release in November 2003. We'll bring you more information on the game as soon as it becomes available.
