Arc System Works Spring 2019 Lineup
Arc System Works has sent us a press release detailing their offerings for the next few months. The biggest item on the list is a release date for Kill la Kill IF, based on the popular manga and anime. It will be out July 26 and feature both English and Japanese audio options…plus the English dub will be performed by the original English voice cast.
Experience the hot-blooded action from the original anime series in this game, with a brand new story line supervised under the direction of original anime scenario writer Kazuki Nakashima!
In May 2019, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle will be updated with these four guest characters:
•Naoto Kurogane (BLAZBLUE) – An in-fighter that turns his own blood into a sword to fight. He specializes in rush attacks utilizing an “enhancer” that strengthens skills.
•Teddie (PERSONA 4 ARENA) – He throws items and performs comical and diverse attacks. Their effects range from automatically launching a ranged attack to recovering HP.
•Seth (UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH) – A speed character that specializes in attacks where he closes in while keeping a distance. He is capable of multi-directional battles with “Captive Segment,” a projectile that attacks with a timer.
•Heart Aino (ARCANA HEART) – An orthodox and balanced character that specializes in dynamic fist punches. Her “Homing”, in which she fast travels toward the enemy, as well as her long range attack using the blessings of Partinias are powerful!

A romantic mystery visual novel with character designs by Yuki Kato, an artist and designer for the BlazBlue series. Scenario designs by Tomio Kanazawa, a producer on the cult classic Deadly Premonition.
And Daedalus: The Awakening of Golden Jazz arrives on May 16 for PS4, Switch and PC:
