Arc System Works’ anime fighting franchise BlazBlue is already popular with the fighting game community. Thus any new recapitulation of the franchise is bound to be anticipated.
But the upcoming BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle gets fans even more excited because it marks the franchise’s first foray into the inter-franchise crossover subgenre that is so popular with fighting games these days.
It pits characters from BlazBlue against characters from the Persona franchise.
But ASW went one step ahead and added another franchise to the mix – Rooster Teeth’s groundbreaking CG anime, RWBY.
While there are already two pre-announced characters from RWBY (including main protagonist Ruby Rose), a new trailer reveals that another RWBY character has been added to the mix namely Blake Belladona who will be one of the 20 planned DLC characters.
Besides the reveal of Blake Belladona, a release date for the game has also been announced. BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle will be released for the PS4, Switch, and PC in Japan on May 31 that will be followed by a North American release on June 5.
