TheBlazblue: Cross Tag Battle"Version 2.0" update is just a few short weeks away, and the folks at Arc System Works keep dolling out character introductions to maintain the hype. We’ve seenNeo Polititan from RWBY, and today we get a closer look at somePersonafavorites. Both Elizabeth and Adachi have received new trailers. Check them out below.
Elizabeth originates fromPersona 3, and Adachi fromPersona 4. However, both of these characters appeared in the fighting game based on thePersonafranchise:Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.As such, the moves they exhibit in these trailerswill look quite familiar to veterans of that game.
Both trailers are fairly detailed, providing characterization as well as gameplay description. Elizabeth’s, for example, refers to her as “the Lethal Elevator Attendant” and “a former denizen of the mysterious ‘Velvet Room.'” The trailer also tells us that by using her persona, Thanatos, Elizabeth can “lock down opponents from medium and long range.” Adachi receives similar treatment.
In total, Version 2.0 ofCross Tagwill include nine new characters. On November 21,Yumi,Neo Politan,AkatsukiandBlitztankwill become playable. The rest of the new characters–Elizabeth, Adachi, Susanoo, Celica, andHilda–will release at a later date.
Arc Sytem Works makes great games, and they have a habit of providing a lot of great, extra content for them. Unfortunately, all of thatDLC content can cost quite a lot, andCross Tagis no different. The 2.0 expansion costs $24.99, and it doesn’t include the game’s previously issued DLC. Seven “character packs” have already released forCross Tag–sold separately, they cost almost $50.
Cross Tagis a lot of fun, though, and the 2.0 update is fairly substantial. In addition to the nine new characters, 2.0 will include a new story scenario, new character interactions, and new colors. If you were waiting for the “right time” to jump intoCross Tag, your wait may finally be over.
The “2.0 Expansion Pack” will release on November 21.Blazblue Cross Tag Battleis currently available on Switch, PS4, and PC.
