Hudson working on a new Bloody Roar game! (Update: Nope) photo

[Update: Well, horrible news is in store for those who wanted to play with anthropomorphic furry pugilists. It appears the Twitter account was a fake. One that duped pretty much everybody online. It was just a joke, and there is no new Bloody Roar game coming. Sorry about that, guys. I'm sad now.]

Remember Bloody Roar, the fighting game in which people could transform into rabbits and boars? Well, in what might be the most surprising news of the weekend, it's coming back! 

Hudson confirmed via Twitter that an all new Bloody Roar sequel is in production, with apparent plans to release it in 2012. There is no further news on what Hudson is currently calling Bloody Roar 5, but it's certainly set the Internet afire with speculation. Or at least generated a warm glow of mild bemusement. 

I remember my brother playing Bloody Roar like crazy. I bet he's excited. Are you?

I used to love the Bloody Roar games! It was kinda like a guilty pleasure. I will be very interested for future details.

Primal Fury was the first fighting game I ever really sunk my teeth into. Of course, I had played Street fighter and Mortal Kombat, but never had the chance or patience to truly learn them. That being said, it was really dumb and made even less sense than normal fighting games, as well as being rather unbalanced. Well, good luck, Hudson.

Most unexpected announcement of this console generation. I'm expecting Fester's Quest 2 any minute now.

This series definitely deserves a new installment. I loved the Bakuryū(mole) and Jin(tiger). Alice(obviously rabbit) was cool too.

That is pretty awesome, I always thought that bloody roar was an underrated fighter. Love the transformation stuff as a gameplay mechanic.

Damn, didn't see coming! I absolutely loved the Bloody Roar games. Seriously not enough games have you being a man who at the press of a button can turn into a lion and then punch punch kick a cute bunny screaming through the arena wall!

Bloody Roar in HD, my bet is: when fur and jiggle physics collide.

I thought Hudson was bought by konami (yes, hudson as a whole, not just US branch). So they are still being called hudson, that is new to me, I thought they would just be used for in the house outsourcing.

I had Bloody Roar: Primal Rage for Gamecube back when there weren't a lot of games to play. I had lots of fun with it, but back then I wasn't so good at fighting games and it's not like the standards on the system were that high at the time. Dang if me and my brothers didn't have fun, though.

As a furry, I should have known earlier that a fighting game franchise where the fighters turn into animals existed.

Hope it's got more in common with 2. 1 and 3 were... less than impressive.
