Not just stopping at the beta, Arc System Works also revealed that pre-orders for both PS4 and PS5 digital versions of the game start on November 17, 2023, at 10:00 AM PST.

More than Just Another Fighter
The game is crafted in partnership with French-Bread and serves as the final chapter to the “Hollow Night” storyline, which has been running for over a decade. We’re talking about novel-style action, intense duels, eye-catching visuals, and a roster of 21 returning characters plus new In-Births. Oh, and for the first time in the series, rollback netcode is in the mix.
Step Into the Night
Players assume the role of Hyde, a high schooler whose EXS powers awaken after encountering the mysterious Linne. Together, they face the dreadful Paradox and later encounter Kuon the Aeon, who defeats them and signals the end of the world. With Linne gone, it’s all on Hyde to venture into the Night and thwart Kuon’s plans.
