Check out the Present Day trailer below.

Square Enix describes the chapter:

In this chapter,  you will assume the role of Masaru Takahara, a mixed martial artist who, like many, dreams of becoming the world’s strongest fighter. He truly believes he has what it takes to claim the title, and by making the skills of other masters his own, he intends to prove himself.
