Sometimes you have to embrace modern technology to stay on top of the past. Follow a few Twitter accounts here and there and you can really stay up to date on what’s out of date! It sounds like an oxymoron, but it seems to work…sometimes.

Hudson Soft, a powerful developer of then and now, has confirmed via its Twitter account that there will be a fifth installment in their fabled fighting game, Bloody Roar. The premise behind the 1997 game sees brutal warriors who can turn into various animals, or werebeasts, in order to access special powers and moves.

Since there was a takeover of Hudson Soft by Konami, it appeared like there was either going to be a Bloody Roar war or a collaboration of resources, which really excited fans. What did not excite fans was the revelation that the whole tweet was an evident hoax to prove there were still fans of Bloody Roar and a need for a game. Boo.

Follow it for yourself. You be the detective.
