BlazBlue Continuum Shift Sequel Announced

BlazBlue series producer Mori Toshimichi recently teased that a BlazBlue arcade announcement of some form would be coming at next month's Amusement Machine Show. Arc System Works has since confirmed that the announcement is BlazBlue Continuum Shift II.

That's right, there's a sequel to Continuum Shift on the way for arcade goers. Currently, all that's known is that the game will run on Taito's Type X2 arcade board, will have a standard 8-way lever and 4 button control scheme, and will hit arcades this Winter.

Holy crap that was fast. And here I was about to pick up Continuum Shift...

Just to clarify, Continuum Shift 2 is an arcade-only release to get the year-old arcade version up to date with all the new DLC coming out on consoles.

Cantinuum Shift 2? why not BlazBlue 3? probably just balancing the game and adding more characters and stages but no new mechanics just like SSFIV... too soon.

You dont get it , and it's thanks to the stupid article's title .

It's an arcade release of the console version+its dlc characters .

[Spaghett]

Shit, I haven't played the others ones yet but I guess I might as well just wait longer.

I spooked ya!

We only just got calamity trigger on PC, lol.

Hopefully this comes on launch day this time.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

hopefully somebody do a good job and put calamity trigger characters in a mugen.

I waiting for a full game in a disc for PS3 or PC...

[Redempteur]

you can wait forever ..the version we all have ( ps3 ,360 )will be patched to include the changes of the arcade version once all the dlc are out ...And that's it

[Game-Sensai]

Wow, it's always astounding how only few people really read the articles.

"The mention of Valkenhayn has many thinking that Continuum Shift II will actually just be an arcade version of the home version of Continuum Shift -- that is, an arcade title with all the improvements made for the home version. Valkenhayn is the second downloadable character for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, and will be available in late September"

There you have it, 3rd paragraph, I's not BB3. If so, it would also be called like that (or 'Chaotic Drift' or whatever lol). ;)

[Nihilism]

What's your point, it is an updated version and they mention that it may also come to console's,and as calamity trigger also came to pc I expect this will come to pc too....hence my point, I hope it comes to PC when it is released.

[Game-Sensai]

"and they mention that it may also come to console's"

Uhm no buddy, it's an arcade-port of the updated console edition. There's no point in porting it back haha.

EDIT to clarify

BB CT Arcade -> Console version.
BB CS Arcade -> Console version (updated) -> Updated Arcade.

[Baka-akaB]

I dunno if your wait will be rewarded ... before CT was even released on PC , the arcade version was ripped and pirated on pc ... probably eating away at some of CT pc's sales anyway .

Let's hope it still did good enough
