<p>Back in March we finally got news that PQube would be publishing <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/blazblue_cross_tag_battle"><strong>BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle</strong></a> in Europe, <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/03/the_fight_rages_on_as_pqube_brings_blazblue_cross_tag_battle_to_the_eu_this_summer">putting an end to fears us 2D fighting fans</a> outside of Japan and North America would be left out in the cold. Well, that nebulous ‘summer 2018’ release window has finally been whittled down to an actual date – 22nd June! Ta da!</p>
<p>If you’re new to the series – and to this game in particular – it’s a 2D fighter which enables you to pick two characters from the BlazBlue universe along with those from Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth and RWBY. There’s a brand new Story mode, and an updated combat system to make it a little more palatable to newcomers.</p>
