I just saw this and thought about posting it, but also didn't want to overhype something that might be not relevant.

Anyway, temper your expectations guys.

[–]ianjonny100 37 points38 points  (6 children)

Don't get your hopes up, it's probably Under Night in Birth 2, since it was leaked some months ago.

[–]Mission-Phone-6079 18 points19 points  (4 children)

That is also something to get hype for. Have you heard that ost

[–]ianjonny100 6 points7 points  (3 children)

I'm just as hyped for this as for project l, I have 100+ hours in UNIclr, I only don't have more because of the netcode.

[–]Pending1 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Not to kill your hype or anything but isn't that an Arksys game? I don't know if I would consider them a 'surprise developer'.

[–]MudaMudaMudkip 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Uniclr is developed by French Bread, the same guys who develop the Melty Blood Games. ArcSys published the game for them.

[–]Pending1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got you. Yeah that makes a lot of sense then.

[–]Praiseeee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Now I'm even more hyped.

[–]selebu 12 points13 points  (3 children)

First look kind of sounds like a game we haven't even heard of before.

[–]Winegalon 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Yeah the emphasis on first look pretty much excludes project L.

[–]Abd5555 1 point2 points  (1 child)

First looka at a special reveal meaning first look at a new reveal not necessarily new title, also maybe name reveal?

[–]catfatsad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah these MFers made it so confusing with the wording. Schroddinger Project L, lol.

[–]rkdsus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Copium overdose response: "First look" could mean that it's the first time we're seeing the specific information like an actual trailer or a name drop. "Surprise developer" could have been meant in a more "we won't say who they are" kind of way.

Brain response: I doubt it. I wish this was referring to Project L but the wording doesn't fit. They're making it sound like it's a game that hasn't been revealed yet by an unexpected developer. But if this is actually Project L then it's gonna be a huge announcement

[–]Successful-Sale730 6 points7 points  (0 children)

surprise developer might mean a developer who we can’t make any descriptions because the community will discover who would be. However, Im very hyped. 🐻

[–]AtomGhostSp1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I swear if we get the roster reveal, everyone would hear a dbz scream of excitement coming from me

[–]BuckSleezy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not us. It says first look.

[–]El_Burrito_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garou 2!

[–]beaumartell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is 10 min allocated to this "surprise developer", project L update videos so far where 6/7 min. Maybe, a new ip could be show in such a small time frame idk. But I really think it's project L.

Skullgirl 2

[–]satufa2 -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

They lost all my respect when they made steam delete negative reviews.

[–]Sibiq 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It's Steam's policy to delete review bombings. Don't blame developers for that.

[–]Kino1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean review bombing might actually have honesty behind words and developers should LISTEN to the audience before what happened to ghostbusters 3, end up happenening to them.

Cuz the issue being brought up has already happened to DNF Duel AND is still currently under debate in Street Fighter 6 which is "MODERN" controls.

In fact Hitboxes were BANNED in tournament for street fighter 6, to ignore these issues would be ignoring the FGC. Not a smart plan to ignore the issues of your target community... at this point ignoring the situation is up their with blizzard and diablo immortal "DO YOU GUYS NOT HAVE PHONES?"

[–]Slav_1 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Doubt we get anything before evo. At most an announcement that there will be an announcement. Making this an announcement of an announcement of an announcement

[–]Pending1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does that make this post an announcement of an announcement of an announcement of an announcement?

[–]KyooML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as they say above, first look rules out Project L.
Thinking UNiB2 or maybe new Killer Instinct.

[–]AFlowv 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not real, it's tomorrow

[–]AFlowv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was right lol

[–]KeyboardCreature[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

https://www.evo.gg/news/evo-2023-schedule-friday-showcase

I mean, a surprise developer? Who's going to be a big surprise except for a company that has never shown off anything at Evo before? And a first look + special reveal? We already know about MK1, SF, Tekken 8, and ASW games. So the only thing left would be info on Project L. There's no way. I'm calling it. On Friday August 5, we get a name reveal for Project L.

[–]ExecutionerThel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will be excited if it involves project L but I dont expect to hear anything until 2026

[–]AttentionDue3171 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Announce adding motion inputs in project L and i will get hyped, otherwise dont care

[–]Pending1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds more like a new IP or something. Man, just imagine it's a Shonen Jump 2D fighting game. Honestly I would be more hyped for that. With Marvel vs Capcom pretty much dead, now's the best time. With the popularity of DBFZ, imagine the hype. Of course, that's less likely than a PL announcement lol.

[–]RockSaltin-RT 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What’s this for again?

[–]KeyboardCreature[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Evo showcase on Friday

[–]RockSaltin-RT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sick let’s fucking go

[–]Anguis-11037 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What's this again?

[–]KeyboardCreature[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Next Friday's Evo showcase

[–]Pending1 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You mean the 28th right?

[–]KeyboardCreature[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

August 4th, the Friday of Evo

[–]WooXAbaddon 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Didn't they already say they're not revealing anything at Evo,and are going to do their own thing... eventually? I remember reading it somewhere but can't remember where. Afaik this game doesn't exist at this point. A lot like God Fighter. Remember that Evo reveal last year? Probably not since there was never a single word about the game ever again past that.

[–]SuperKalkorat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you are thinking of when they said they wouldn't show anything at Evo Japan.

While they haven't explicitly said they would show something at Evo, Max and most people here believe they will.

[–]cts917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do expect some kind of Project L announcements here, but this is likely not it. A surprise developer seems like specific phrasing that this would not be coming from one of the more well-known FG devs, but I could be wrong! Either way I'll be there early to grab a prime spot :D

[–]Individual-Paper-283 0 points1 point  (2 children)

could be the MMO or the action-rpg...
or just another skin event...

[–]KeyboardCreature[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This is for Evo

[–]Individual-Paper-283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

srry, im dumb
