For this game to remain dormant for over 20 years, Bloody Roar has not been announced ever since their last game Bloody Roar 4 was released in 2003. With Hudson Soft being defunct for over a decade to know being absorbed into Konami Digital Entertainment, mean while Konami still has the rights to own this game/intellectual property during the legal process...it is safe to say that has been talked about over a few years like JeriTheOG, Maximillian Dood, and all the other people in the internet.

I have grew fond of this franchise as I was exposed to Bloody Roar 4 back then; only to found out there were issues happening such as the engine, voice acting, battle mechanics, and of course the beast gauge which hit the nail in the coffin. Years later I did went back and the played the other games as I became very amazed to see how brilliant the gameplay was. For games like BR2 and BR PF/E, it still holds up pretty well to this day hence why tournaments like Combo Breaker being included in the major tournament especially with all the small tournaments online or a local to a degree.

For this petition, this is a request to Konami and Eighting to acknowledge this game and to revive the series as much as possible.

To bring this back, it must be a remastered collection. This will include all the games following:

• Bloody Roar 1
• Bloody Roar 2
• Bloody Roar 3
• Bloody Roar Primal Fury/Extreme (must be all-in-one game despite the releases in Japan and WW/America separately especially with the separate consoles)
• Bloody Roar 4

Mind you, it will have a to be a collection for this to work and a complete modern re-release of these games on current platforms (PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, PC) with Cross-Platform (if possible).

With all 5 games it must meet the requirements by making it stable/functional to play which is:

• HD resolution and widescreen support
• Stable 60 FPS performance
• Refined UI/menus and basic polish
• Optional rollback netcode for online multiplayer
• Additional training features like move-list, frame data tools, etc.
• Bonus content like concept art, soundtracks, and character bios 

This will give both new and existing players/fans alike a chance to experience the series in it's formal glory being preserved with care, not reinvented or rushed (which is why BR4 end up doing instead of having enough time to make the game stable due to glitches).

If this collection is set in motion and it's being well received regarding sales, gameplay, recognition, this will be a step forward for the company (i.e. Konami, Eighting) to have enough room for a new entry in the Bloody Roar franchise to be built on the foundation that made the originals great: tight mechanics, memorable characters, and yes....the unforgettable beast transformations.

Whether it's a sequel that continues the story or a soft reboot that reintroduces the series to a new audience, we only ask that it be given the time and respect it deserves.

Why does this matter?

Keep in mind, everyone (including the online space) wish for this game to come back by all means. It's not because of nostalgia,  but it's because of how unique this game was introduced. Compared to all the fighting games either 2D or 3D....Bloody Roar became unique because it preserves in gaming history. It introduces fighters (Zoanthropes) turning to animals doing massive combos and performing super moves (Beast Drives) as it does have something to offer. I myself would love to see this game on a modern engine with crazy graphics that will blow me out of my sockets. More importantly, the community/players/fans alike are looking forward for another game like Bloody Roar to be as successful like any other game.

So if you are a casual gamer, competitor, game enthusiast, or all the above...join in by signing this petition as this game deserves the love and support from all the people around the world. May this game rise from the ashes!
