BlazBlue: Cross Tage Battle is one of Arc System Works' most ambitious projects, as well as their very first crossover fighting title. The game has characters from
Persona 4,
Under Night In-Birth,
RWBY, and
BlazBlue crossing over, making for a pretty fantastic roster of fighters.
The first
BlazBlue title in the series,
Calamity Trigger, came out in 2008 for Japanese Arcades, and in 2009 for consoles outside of Japan—making it one of Arc System Works' newest franchises. Like it is to be expected from Arc System Works,
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle features fluid combat animations, tight controls, easy to complex combos, and fast-paced matches—only rivaled by their very own
Guilty Gear series and their brilliant
Dragon Ball FighterZ game.
During this EVO 2018, Arc System Works revealed that they were adding 9 new characters to
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle in an upcoming DLC—which is
available today. The characters added are Nine The Phantom, Izayoi, and Mai Natsume from
BlazBlue, Yuzuriha, Mika, and Merkava from
Under Night In-Birth, and Akihiko Sanada, Mitsuru Kirijo, and Labrys from
Persona 4.
