Long-delayed BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War gets February release date in Japan


Announced all the way back in 2017, news on mobile spin-off BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War has been rather light for the past few years. But Arc System Works have revealed that the game will still be coming out, and it’s only a month away.
Despite Dark War’s planned February release date in Japan, little new information has been given away. Even the trailer, which pretty much states that development of the game was rebooted at some point, shows only a few seconds of in-game footage.
We do know that the story will be tied directly to that of the mainline BlazBlue games, with many familiar characters making their return.
To pre-register, head over to the official BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War website. There, you’ll also find a prologue to the game’s story — in Japanese of course.
