Ray’z Arcade Chronology News

We have fixed an issue where using R-GRAY1 on Player 2 side in Raystorm could cause the game to freeze.

[h3]Notice: Open Beta Test for Latest Update[/h3][p][/p][p]We have identified a bug in RayStorm and RayStorm NEO-HD (included in the Steam version of Ray’z Arcade Chronology) where the application may crash when Player 2 selects R-GRAY1. We plan to release a patch to address this issue, but since the changes could affect multiple parts of the game, we will conduct an open beta test first.[/p][p]How to Join the Test:[/p]

6. [p]If the update does not start automatically and the usual “Play” button shows “Update” instead, click it manually.[/p]

On August 15, we’re holding a special Night Striker-focused event above the Hey arcade in Akihabara, Tokyo. The venue will feature merchandise sales—including limited and early-release items—an actual arcade Night Striker cabinet on display, and a hands-on play area.

In the morning, we’ll host the “Night Striker Special Tactical Action Force Skills Trial in Hey” competition. Players will take on designated stages, competing for the highest Running Point score (displayed on the game’s gadget) at stage end. Entry is limited to 20 participants; if applications exceed this number, players will be selected at random. Those wishing to participate should register at the Hey 2F counter between 10:00 and 10:15 on the day of the event.

At 15:00, we present the “Monthly ZUNTATA NIGHT – Special Summer 2025 Edition in Hey”. Guests will include M2 development staff from Operation Night Strikers and Night Striker GEAR, showcasing live gameplay and delivering talks from the sound creators. The session will also be streamed live on YouTube—so if you can’t attend in person, join us online!
