European gamers are about to get a burst of Arc System Works games in 2010. New PAL publisher pQube will release Castle of Shikigami III, Jake Hunter, and Theresia in Europe.
Before the pQube and Zen Media partnership, 505 Games used to handle Arc System Works stuff like Guilty Gear Accent Core and the occasional JRPG. In addition to working with Arc System Works, pQube has a deal with Ertain. That Japanese publisher used to make the Gladiator games, but now focus on the "relaxing genre" with stuff like Paint Classic Masterpieces.
Arc System Works' CEO has said that BlazBlue is not done and the studio will touch it the in future to avoid competition with Guilty Gear now.
would love to see it celshaded like guiltygear/granblue etc. Just hope they don't ruin the combat mechanics
"Getting into a long-standing fighting game series is always a challenge for new players. There are so many characters and different versions to go over for many of them and going up against seasoned players who’ve been with the series for years is one of the biggest barriers. BlazBlue, however, has something a lot of other games don’t have; a ton of story. The series is known for having a lot of story content, which can make that initial barrier even harder for new players because if they jump into a new game and play the story mode, they aren’t going to be able to follow it." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
Neil writes: "Last week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale was a tad disappointing, mostly because the really decent Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains were saved for the Ultimate Game Sale. Now though it's time to check out a whole new list of discounted titles. But what bargains are available for gamers to get excited about thanks to the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 24th-30th July 2018?"
This is great news. I won't need to import Blazblue :D
