Fighting game 'Zone4' coming to Southeast Asia
Heads up, fighting game and martial arts fans. A new fighting game is headed to Southeast Asia.
Inspired by arcade beat-em-ups, “Zone4” is a free-to-play online PC game that revolves around the theme of street fighting. Matches, of course, will feature lots of fighting between unique characters, each of whom is a practitioner of a real martial art. At present, these martial arts are Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Boxing, Capoeira, Pro Wrestling, Judo, Hapkido, Sambo, and Kung Fu – although expect more characters and fighting styles in future updates. And because this is a fighting game, expect powerful special moves to master and unleash upon your enemies.
“The fascination of Southeast Asians in Street brawling and interest in martial arts will definitely attract attention, and it’s well thought-off game play will make this game a hit,” stated Jay Ramos, Southeast Asia Product Manager for “Zone4.”
The game comes with multiple modes, which are:
Arcade mode: This story-based mode lets players team up with up to four friends to fight through hordes of opponents.
Challenge mode: Players must battle through 50 stages and participate in boss fights.
Versus mode: Players can challenge other players to fights. There are two versions of this mode – a free-for-all battle royal, and Team Deathmatch.
Tournaments: This is a huge, 16 vs. 16 turf war for those yearning for carnage on a mass scale.
The game will be available in the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia in the third quarter of 2016.
