Aksys Games announced it will release a BlazBlue: Central Fiction Limited Edition for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in North America.


Here is what comes in the Limited Edition box:

  • Deluxe Hardcover Art Book — Contains 100 pages of BlazBlue art celebrating the history of gaming’s flashiest 2D fighting series!
  • Mini Noel Vermillion Nendoroid Figure — Supervised by Toshimichi Mori and forged by the masters at Good Smile. Noel strikes an iconic pose, sure to mesmerize collectors and fans alike!
  • BlazBlue Song Interlude III Soundtrack — Ten tracks of in-game goodness bound to up your fighting drive!

Es, from the XBlaze series, will be free to downloand for the first two weeks after the game launches. It will be available for purchase after that:

"A new challenger approaches! The mysterious Es of Xblaze fame joins the fray, ready to lend her brawly talents to eager fighters. Es, Guardian of the Azure and sometimes known as the Mediator, carves out her own unique spot on the roster.

"A cursory glance at Es reveals her suite of standard normals and specials which form the foundation of her attack arsenal. While Es can be played as a straightforward beat stick, she has the ability to enhance her special moves, offering inventive fighters strategic flexibility.

"Her drive, “Crest Arts”, transforms the trail of her sword into a massive avalanche of doom which gives her devastating attack power during offensive strikes. More hits = more pain. Tricky players can also utilize her drive’s time lag to put opponents in sticky defensive situations and force them to make hasty decisions."

BlazBlue: Central Fiction launches for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on October 6 in Japan, this holiday in North America, and Q4 2016 in Europe.

Bad idea not releasing for Xbox this time around. Believe it or not, a lot of fighting game fans played Blazblue, Street Fighter etc on the 360.

Just curious but does anybody really care about this series? They've released like 7 different versions in the past 8 years when it first came out, feels like they're milking the hell out of this. But I guess it must be really cheap to make?

That's why I stopped buying them. It felt like I could never keep up and that there weren't enough differences to justify a yearly purchase.

Still, the bulk of the Blazblue fanbase seems to not mind (especially in Japan) so don't expect them to change their release schedule anytime soon.

Honestly, the first game was great. After that it kind of went downhill.
