Blazblue Cross Tag Battle confirmed for Switch

Back in January, Arc System Works announced they were bringing several games to the Nintendo Switch, including New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers (already available), but also a game from the Blazblue series. Unfortunately, nothing was said about that game, so we didn’t know if it would be just a port, a brand new game, or something else entirely.

And today, during a panel at RTX 2018, it was announced that the mysterious Blazblue game for the Nintendo Switch was Blazblue Cross Tag Battle, which was announced a few months ago for unspecified platforms.

Here’s the trailer revealed today, which confirms several playable characters, but also confirms the platforms the game is releasing on:
