Fighting games are in a weird place right now. After years of growth and major releases, 2026 has brought troubled launches, struggling games, and serious questions about where the genre goes next.

In this video, I look at how we got here, going from games like Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tekken 7 and Mortal Kombat 11 to Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, 2XKO, Marvel Tōkon, Invincible VS and more. We essentially discuss what the future of fighting games might actually look like.

Thank you for watching!
