European fighter fans who havenāt already imported Arc System Worksā BlazBlue will be rewarded for their patience early next year, with exclusive characters and moves only available in the European release.
The release comes as a result of publisher PQube and Zen United, a consortium of Japanese and Asian developers targeting the European market. The title will be fully localized, with support for German, Italian, French, English, and Spanish, so just about everyone can be confused by the twisted storyline of this lovely little fighting game.
āThe long running 2D fighting genre has seen a welcome boost in 2009 with updated versions of several franchises brought to Next Gen PS3 and 360 consolesā and Tomo Ohno, Head of Zen United, reported āBlazBlue reached number 1 in the Japanese arcades and already sales of the Japanese and US console versions have beaten forecastsā.
The European PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release will feature bonus content, including a strategy guide and the gameās soundtrack, and the announcement makes mention of ānew gameplay content not available anywhere, like new characters and moves.ā
No word on what exclusive characters Europe will be getting, but itās definitely nice to see folks on that side of the pond getting rewarded for their patience. And for those of you who already bought it, there is no shame in rebuying.
