Overview
- Arc System Works announced on June 24 that it will release a new paid downloadable character for BlazBlue: Central Fiction on PlayStation 4 and Windows PC (Steam).
- The company said development was only recently settled and chose to announce the addition without in-game footage while the team finishes work.
- The new fighter will be a returning character from the main BlazBlue series rather than a guest or spin-off newcomer.
- Central Fiction last received a new character in 2017 (Jubei) and originally debuted in arcades in 2015 with console releases the following year.
- Full details on the character and its availability will be revealed at EVO 2026, which runs June 26–28 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the update could revive interest in the decade-old title and its tournament scene.
