Cross Tag Battle brings in the world from BlazBlue, RWBY, Under Night In-Birth, and Persona 4 Arena. If you’ve been following the game’s designs and it’s special 4-square logo, each separate world (franchise) represents each square. Blue representing BlazBlue, red for RWBY, yellow for Persona 4 Arena, and purple for Under Night In-Birth. At the end of the announcement trailer during EVO 2018, a new square was represented, pink. Rumors have been swirling of possibly bringing characters from the Senran Kagura franchise or even Arcana Heart. If we had to put a bet on which one, we’re going to guess on Arcana Heart since the third title, Arcana Heart 3 LOVE MAX!!!!! was published by Arc System Works. For now, it’s a mystery.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is available now for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam).
