Yo dawg, we made a sequel to your sequel so you could sequel while you sequeled -- ahem, sorry, we couldn't help ourselves. Andriasang reports that Aksys Games has announced the next entry in the BlazBlue series for Japanese arcades, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2. The new arcade game will debut at the Amusement Machine Show on September 9.
The game will launch in Japanese arcades this winter and (so far) adds one new character, Valkenhayn R Hellsing. He was recently announced as the second DLC character for the home console versions of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift and has been priced at ¥800 (560 Microsoft Points) in Japan. We suspect his price tag here will be the same, especially since Makoto, the first announced DLC character for CS, is priced accordingly.
It's actually a Japanese Arcade release with 1 new character Valkenhayn R Hellsing... (So far the only mentioned new character, so Makoto is probably on this list later as well)
Oddly enough, Valkenhayn will be DLC in the console version of BB:CS so I'm not sure if BB:CS2 is the console version update for arcades.
Then again BB already has NPCs that have potential to be playable characters to begin with so I wouldn't be surprised to see more characters added to the mix.
Either way, count me out of BlazBlue until the final, final... final release of BB ever happens.
(Already worried about my copy of SSFIV being obsolete with the arcade updates. I swear it's gonna be SSFIV Turbo for consoles!)
