Bloody Roar 2 is a 1999 arcade fighting game developed by Eighting/Raizing, released for arcade hardware and PlayStation and known in Japan and Europe as Bringer of the New Age and in North America as The New Breed. The game is the second entry in the Bloody Roar series, which distinguishes itself from other fighting games through a beast transformation mechanic. Each character can shift into an animal form during combat, unlocking additional attacks, recovering a portion of lost health, and generally gaining increased speed and offensive power. This transformation system adds a strategic layer to matches, as players must decide when to trigger the change to maximize its benefits. The game retains the one-on-one brawling format typical of the arcade fighting genre while centering its identity around this shapeshifting mechanic as the defining feature of its combat design.
