Rejoice fans of BlazBlue, for PQUBE Ltd has announced that the next game in the franchise, BlazBlue: Chronophantasma Extend, will be released in Europe on Friday the 23rd of October! Only a few days left until you get to sink your teeth into it!
This release marks the first appearance of the series on the current gen of consoles.
You’ll be treated to an expansive visual novel story mode, that should last over 30 hours! That should keep you busy for a while.
It wouldn’t be a brand new game without a host of new features, all of which are detailed below;
- A wealth of single player modes, including Arcade mode, Score Attack, Abyss mode, Unlimited Mars and Highlander Attack.
- 28 playable characters, including the all-new Celica A. Mercury.
- All the DLC from the original Chronophantasma, a rebalanced fighting system, new netplay features and improved netcode that includes cross-platform play between PS4 and PS3.
- Story Mode features new story chapters as well as recap segments of the story so far in Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift.
- Brand new remix heart mode. Based on the popular manga BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Remix Heart Gaiden is a heart-warming comedic story featuring two high school girls, Mai Natsume and Kajun Faycott, as well as the characters from the main story, Noel, Tsubaki, and Makoto.
- Peerless art and animation. BlazBlue is the pinnacle of 2D fighting excellence, boasting gorgeous, fluid, high-resolution sprites for an anime-style fighting experience like no other.
