Choose your team in fast 2v2 team fights filled with the craziness that BlazBlue loves you, with all the tight mechanics, smooth gameplay and beautiful 2D graphics that you can expect from Arc System Works.

BlazBlue, which celebrated 10 years of fighting game excellence in 2018, is a series that has long been loved by the fighting game community for its deep and engaging story, the huge cast of balanced characters and the fast and kinetic gameplay style.

Atlus’ Persona series, a worldwide RPG phenomenon and no stranger to the fighting genre itself. Persona characters have previously appeared in Arc System Works games, in particular Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.

Under Night In-birth is the first attempt by veteran and combat game developer French Bread to find an original title, far behind the success of cult classic Melty Blood.

Rooster Teeth’s animated mega hit, RWBY, has been a popular franchise for years and transcends both gender and age barriers to become a mainstream hit. Characters from the RWBY series have never appeared in a fighting game before. Until now.
