Worlds colliding seems to be all the rage these days, so why wouldn't that concept extend to the BlazBlue universe? The next chapter of the BlazBlue series is inviting characters from other anime fighting games to join the battle. Following this afternoon's BlazBlue Central Fiction grand finals, Arc System Works posted a teaser for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, which will introduce characters from Persona 4 Arena, Under Night In-Birth, and RWBY.

Check out the trailer below.

That doesn't mean ArcSys is finished with BlazBlue: Central Fiction just yet. The studio also released a new trailer for the game's next playable character, the Six-Heroes' mightiest swordsman, Jubei.

Jubei is set to hit Central Fiction later this summer. Check out the trailer below.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
