Arc System Works EVO Collection Humble Bundle Includes Guilty Gear -Strive- and More, Helps the Raiden Science Foundation
Humble Bundle has launched a new collection that brings together some of the best titles from Arc System Works, including Guilty Gear -Strive- and BlazBlue: Central Fiction, while also supporting the Raiden Science Foundation and its Fight4Rare initiative. This bundle, known as the Arc System Works EVO Collection, runs through July 17 and offers a variety of options to suit different budgets. With a total value of $340, players can unlock a selection of 10 items (including games and DLC coupons) by donating at least $5. For those who want more, the 13-item bundle starts at $10, and the full 16-item collection is available for $20.
The Story Behind the Raiden Science Foundation
The Raiden Science Foundation (RSF) was founded by Tommy Pham and his wife, Linda, in honor of their son, Raiden. Named after the God of Thunder from Mortal Kombat, Raiden was diagnosed with UBA5 Disorder, an ultra-rare genetic condition that affects fewer than 100 children worldwide. This disorder prevents him from sitting, walking, talking, or using his limbs. However, Raiden remains a happy child who "behaves like a six-month-old" and "has a personality that lights up every room."
Despite the lack of research on UBA5 Disorder, Tommy and Linda refused to accept the idea that nothing could be done to help their son. In November 2021, they launched RSF with a mission to raise awareness and funding for rare diseases that may not impact many people but are still critically important. Since its founding, RSF has partnered with institutions like UMass Chan Medical School and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and it is now working toward its goal of raising $3 million to develop a treatment for UBA5 Disorder and bring it to clinical trials.
The Fight4Rare Initiative
To help raise awareness and support for rare disease research, Tommy Pham launched Fight4Rare, originally called Kombat4Rare, as a fundraiser inspired by Mortal Kombat, Raiden’s name, and the idea that gamers could help fight for something bigger than themselves. The initiative has been well-received and has expanded to include more games beyond Mortal Kombat.
This bundle has special significance for Pham, as Guilty Gear -Strive- was released just months before Raiden’s diagnosis. The game not only helped him get through a difficult time but also features a character named Ky Kiske, who embodies hope and uses lightning—a fitting connection to Raiden.

This bundle is a meaningful way to celebrate Evo 2026, which will take place in Las Vegas from June 26-28. Mark Julio, also known as MarkMan, has played a significant role in bringing the mission of RSF to life. As the Director of Global Business Development at Evo, MarkMan has helped Pham connect with others in the fighting game community and has provided guidance in launching Fight4Rare.
"For me, Mark represents what makes the FGC so special," Pham shared. "He saw a family trying to save their son and chose to stand beside them. Through his support, and the support of the broader FGC, what began as one family's fight became a community's fight. That support continues to fuel everything we do today."
