There have recently been reports in the Japanese regions of another addition to BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. BlazBlue is a excellent 2D fighting game, designed and developed by the creators of the Guilty Gear franchise. The addition isn’t a sequel, but is instead an upgraded version of the game entitled BlazBlue: Continuum Shift with a new playable character from the original storyline. Those who have played already are aware of the small appearance of Tsubaki Yayoi.
However, this reminds me of a previous news report that originally appeared back in August. Europeans have yet to receive BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, and it was previously reported that the region would get content not available anywhere else. This includes exclusive characters and moves, which sounds like much more of a value so far than BlazBlue: Continumm Shift. There is no word yet if the US is getting an update containing either of these updates, but fans of the series already predicted that the European release might make its way over as a downloadable extra. This would make the most sense as repackaged games generally don’t sell very well here unless ported to another system.
Considering all the rumors on how the content will be packaged to US audience, with no official word from Aksys Games, it is best to wait it out before importing either the Japanese or European versions.
