There is apparently a real Hudson Twitter account, but it hasn't been used since 2010. When we contacted Hudson parent company Konami for comment, the publisher simply told us it was "looking into this."
Sorry, Bloody Roar fans.

Best case is maybe this will somehow help drum up some corporate interest in reviving the game,probably not but at least its something.

What I find really odd is that neither Hudson or Konami came out as soon as Bloody Roar 5 was announced and said, "No it isn't." The hoaxers had to admit they were lying.
It makes me think that neither Hudson or Konami even realize they even own the franchise. Just strange the whole fiasco.

Ah man, that's a 10/10 right there. When you're willing to go through all that much work, and are in for the long haul, that's when you're a good troll.

I mean, considering the announcement included a Japanese transliteration of "Bloody Roar" instead of "Beastorizer," it wasn't even a GOOD con.

Wow, that dude really has nothing better to do?

It was a good troll. Those are so rare...

Best case is maybe somehow this can draw some corporate attention to the series and possibly in some way start the bowel movements of the development cycle started on a new game.Probably not but i can at least hope.

@turtleneck
I want you to look me in the eyes.
Not everyone is concerned with hearing news ten seconds after it happens, especially when the "news" story is essentially "Massive Troll Trolls People." You personally already knew this bit of news. This article is for people who don't. If you have such a goddamn problem with news being posted a day or two after it happens then find a different news source.
I think I speak for more than just myself when I say G T F O.

Ha! This guy better watch his back from this day on because some Bloody Roar fanboy is gonna go Mark Bradford on his ass. XD
But seriously, that's lame. But one can hope Konami wises up and actually makes a new BR with the resurgence in fighters there's been lately...

Looking into what Konami / Hudson?
Looking into actually creating the game I hope.
Here's to hoping Konami / Hudson actually spring a surprise on us and the hoaxers by announcing they ARE in fact working on BR5 and not only that, it's releasing early next year.

Someone call Mark Bradford, I have a job for him.

Geez, someone ran a fake company Twitter account for over 6 months--and was never outed until he outed himself?

Good Trolling! As a Bloody Roar fan this is more of a relief than anything. The series was pure trash except for 2 entries so it's best left dead where it can't hurt anyone else.

Why is the first post on the account the day of the tsunami/earthquake? For what effed up purpose was this account originally made?

I would totally buy a new Bloody Roar game, i loved Primal Fury on the Gamecube.

I'm not really upset, but I will admit I was intrigued hearing there "was" a sequel in development.

I played Bloody Roar, I still even own it... but... were people REALLY clamouring for a new one?
I mean, it was a competent fighter and all... but... really? THIS is where you decide to troll?
