BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma has a Winter 2012 release date. That could
technically mean February 2013, but in an interview with Famitsu, which
was posted to Famitsu.com today, producer Toshimichi Mori assured players that the game will hit arcades some time in calendar 2012.
The first location test was held for the game immediately following
its announcement. Mori also told Famitsu that they'll be holding a
second location test as soon as they've made adjustments. This could
come as early as some time this month.
If you can't make it out to an arcade to try the game out, you'll
want to head out to Makuhari in late September for Tokyo Game Show. Arc
is currently planning to show the arcade version at the September
event. Attendees will be able to sample a near final version.
Mori also discussed the game's story. Chrono Phantasma will continue
the story from Extend, so he suggested that players go back and play
through Extend leading up to release.
Regarding the home version (currently confirmed just for PlayStation
3), Mori said that this is currently just in the planning stage. Rather
than individual stories for each character, they're planning on having
three main stories. In the end, the three stories will come together
and show the true ending. You will be able to switch characters as you
advance through the story.
Mori assured that the volume will remain at the same level as past BlazBlue home conversions.
Other home modes mentioned by Mori include a tutorial mode and
something similar to the survival-like Abyss mode of past BlazBlue
games. For tutorial mode, he said to expect more instructor voices.
