Arc Revolution Cup 2014 official date released, preliminaries to begin June 14

This year’s highly anticipated Arc Revolution Cup 2014 has been officially announced, and will feature the top three fighting game titles from the developer Arc System Works.

Note: the Arc Revolution Cup 2014 is not to be confused with the previously reported Pre Arc Revolution Cup 2014, a much smaller tournament designed to help build hype for the real deal.

BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, Persona 4: The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold, and Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- are this year’s three fighting game platforms which top players will compete in as part of the annual tournament.

To compete in the tournament finals, champion hopefuls have to first compete in preliminary rounds taking place all over Japan starting June 14. Only by winning a preliminary tournament will a player earn the right to kick butt on the grand stage at the Big Site TFT Hall in Tokyo on August 30-31.

If this year’s tournament is anything like last year’s, livestreams of the finals will be available so fans of the games will be able to catch the action online.
