BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle[a] is a 2D crossover fighting game developed and published by Arc System Works, first released for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows in 2018.
[2] Cross Tag Battle features characters from different series, including BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth, and RWBY.
[3] After the game was released, characters from Arcana Heart, Senran Kagura, and Akatsuki Blitzkampf were added as downloadable content.
If they have enough, players can also have the second character use assist attacks to extend combos, keep the opponent away, or alternatively use all meter on "Cross Burst" to escape from dangerous situations.
To accommodate for the tag mechanics and make characters easier to learn, the controls were simplified compared to mainline BlazBlue games and other participating series.
In addition, each character was given some universal options, such as an overhead with the heavy button, invincible reversal attack, and auto combos.
Takemagahara detects the remnants of Yūki Terumi within him, and copies his genes to create the clone of Susano’o as a countermeasure, but indirectly leads to the destruction of multiverse.
While System XX holds off the clone from being unleashed, a regretful Hazama took over the role as the multiversal tournament’s conductor at the former’s behest.
The storyline ends with the characters participating in the endless Tag Team-based Battle Royale and waiting for System XX’s full recovery.
[6] On June 7, 2018, Minoru Kidooka confirmed that "Season 2" DLC will be added for arcade edition in April 2019 and for the console version in May 2019.
The version 2.0 introduced battle changes, new story content, and the inclusion of the characters Celica A. Mercury, Susano'o, Elizabeth, Tohru Adachi, Hilda and Neopolitan.
[29][30] Ragna the Bloodedge, Jin Kisaragi, Yu Narukami, Hyde Kido and Ruby Rose appeared in the game on the announcement trailer.
