Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle is a 2v2 tag team fighter developed and published by Japanese studio Arc System Works. As a crossover title, it boasts a cast of characters from several different franchises, namely BlazBlue itself, Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth, and RWBY. While the game retains the fast-paced gameplay that the series is known for, the controls are changed significantly to accommodate the new fighters.

BBTAG is to launch in the West with a full English dub and 20 characters in the base game. The roster can be expanded to a total of 40 through future Character Packs.
