Gameplay[edit]
The gameplay on BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle will be much different from previous entries of BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena and Under Night In-Birth. Yet, some of the gameplay mechanics from the main latest installments of these three said series are retained while having some additional revamp for this game. Cross Tag Battle will feature 2v2 battles and tag-ins similar to Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite and Tekken Tag Tournament 2.[7]
Characters[edit]
It is confirmed that Cross Tag Battle will have a total of 40 characters with 20 in the base game and another 20 available as DLC.[8] Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long will each be downloadable content available for free, with the remaining 18 characters available for a premium.[9]

Development[edit]
Before BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle's reveal, Rooster Teeth teased the possibility of a RWBY fighting game being revealed at Evo 2017 on their Twitter account.[19]
On July 16, 2017, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle was announced at the Evo 2017 championships following Ryusei Ito's victory in BlazBlue: Central Fiction.[20][21] Ragna the Bloodedge, Jin Kisaragi, Yu Narukami, Hyde and Ruby Rose were revealed to be in the game via the announcement trailer.[22] Later, it was announced that Konomi Higuchi will serve as the game's lead character designer.[3] According to game director Toshimichi Mori, Cross Tag Battle will be released exclusively on consoles. Some characters from Under Night In-Birth will be redrawn for this game to match out BlazBlue graphics. Currently, there are no plans on including other characters from other franchises such as Guilty Gear.
According to the producer, the game's main target crowd is the fans abroad rather than in Japan.[23] Accordingly, Cross Tag Battle will be the first BlazBlue game since Chrono Phantasma to be dubbed into English. An option will also be available to toggle between English and Japanese voices on a by-character basis.[24]
Controversy[edit]
On January 13, 2018, Arc System Works announced that there will be twenty paid DLC characters for the game out of a total of forty, resulting in Cross Tag Battle launching with only half of its planned roster in the base game. This caused backlash from fighting game fans, with the arguments that the game mostly reuses assets from earlier Arc System Works fighting games, and that half of Team RWBY will be sold separately.[25] During the EVO 2018 lineup announcement stream in which Cross Tag Battle was announced for the main lineup, Mori announced in a trailer that Blake and Yang would be free of charge, allowing players to enjoy Team RWBY at no additional cost. [9][26] In addition, he said that costs for the DLC characters would not exceed that of the title's retail cost. This was confirmed by Mori in an interview with "Dengeki PlayStation".[27][9]
