Phantom Breaker gets a new website, trailer and arcade stick giveaway
With all the hubbub lately over SoulCalibur 5's recent release and the impending punches contained within next month's Street Fighter X Tekken, its easy to lose track of more obsure upcoming releases like Phantom Breaker. The 360 exclusive fighter, developed by 5pb of Japan and localized for North American audiences by 7sixty, now has an English website and a new trailer to go with it, as seen above.7sixty is also giving away two limited edition Phantom Breaker-themed Fusion Sapphire arcade sticks from boutique custom shop eightarc. Considering that only those deeply mired in the intricacies of the fighting game community know of eightarc's existence, this contest at least shows that 7sixty knows how to do its homework, if nothing else. You can enter for your chance to win either on the game's official site, or at its Facebook page.

Rumor: 7Sixty also working on beat-em-up HurricaneX2 for Xbox 360
Siliconera, who brought us the news yesterday of 7Sixty's intent to localize Phantom Breaker, posted a rumor that the Texas-based publisher is working on an Xbox 360 version of the brawler HurricaneX2. The IGF 2010 and Dream Build Play contestant HurricaneX2, by YouYun Tech, is a fantasy kung-fu game that "emphasizes timing and anticipation over brute strength and provides a variety of fighting gameplay with a unified mechanic." We inquired with 7sixty, who told us "the mystical lotus blossom of information will bloom shortly, showering everyone with petals of honorable truth." Look forward to that ... blooming.
2D fighter 'Phantom Breaker' on the way from publisher 7sixty
If you've been following 5pb's Japan-only Xbox fighting game Phantom Breaker, then, well, you're a bit ahead of us. Regardless, the 2D fighter will become a lot more accessible this year, when publisher 7sixty plans to localize it for release in North America. The Amazon page linked to by the publisher says it's due on January 31; however, it also says that SouthPeak is the publisher, so don't put too much stock in it. We're asking for more details. Phantom Breaker is about a fighting tournament in Tokyo held by "Phantom," which promises to grant wishes to the winner. This attracts the attention of a variety of familiar anime-style characters, along with guests from other 5pb games like Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head Noah -- which would mean something if you lived in Japan, we assure you.%Gallery-142905% Update: 7sixty is a SouthPeak subsidiary, hence the name on the Amazon page.
