Developed by Arc System Works, the masteminds behind Guilty Gear, BlazBlue is a fighting game that brings us into a world tainted by past wars and surrounded by many mysteries behind the armagus, the boundary and more.

Plot from Wikipedia:
Prior to the events of BlazBlue, humanity was on the verge of extinction from the "Black Beast", a creature of Darkness. The world was saved by six heroes who wielded magic. They helped humanity create "Armagus", a fusion of magic and technology, to defeat the Beast.

After the war, the Novus Orbis Librarium (the Library or NOL for short) was created to govern the world with the use of Armagus. A great deal of dissent was caused by the Library, partly due to Armagus' use in nearly every facet of society, and the widening socioeconomic gap between those who could and couldn't use Armagus. This dissent would eventually form years later into The Ikaruga Civil War, when the Ikaruga Union openly rebelled against the Library. After the war, the Library imposed a harsher rule on the world, punishing any rebellion against the Library with the death penalty.

In December A.D. 2199, several years after the Ikaruga Civil War, a branch of the Library was utterly destroyed by an SS-class rebel named "Ragna the Bloodedge" also known as the "Grim Reaper", in an attempt to destroy the entire Library. The Novus Orbis Librarium, hoping to stop him, immediately announced the largest bounty ever, available to anyone who could capture him. Interestingly, Ragna possesses a powerful form of Armagus known as the "Azure Grimoire" (Grimoire of the Blue in Japan), also known as the BlazBlue. This led the Librarium, as well as the Ikaruga Union and other fighters, to hunt Ragna not just for his bounty, but also his grimoire.
BlazBlue Calamity Trigger:
The first game in the series was released for PS3 and Xbox360 in June 2009, in America, while an European Release is programmed for March 2010.



The console version expands the story with its Story Mode, giving us more insight on the characters involvement with the mysteries of BlazBlue.



A portable version for PSP is programmed to be released in March 2010 as well. The PSP port will include small additions like Unlimited Characters that are already available as DLC for Xbox360 and are programmed for mid-february for PS3.

BlazBlue Battle x Battle - DSI Ware

A... hmmm... nevermind... ok ok... game for DSIWare. I doubt we will see it english though.




BlazBlue Continuum Shift



Continuum Shift picks up where Calamity Trigger ended. It was released on Japanese arcades on November 2009 while a Console port has been announced for summer in Japan. Hopefully it won't take that long to arrive to America.

Three new characters enter the ranks of BlazBlue. One of this new characters is exclusive to the console version, at least for now.

Didn't see a thread so I decided to start it. Specially after the console port announcement of Continuum Shift. I do know there are several BlazBlue players here so... thoughts?
