BlazBlue Entropy Effect X reveals Dead Cells and Icey collaborations

BlazBlue: Entropy Effect X will features collaborations with Dead Cells as well as Icey, Astrolabe Games and 91Act announced today.

Both franchises were included in the PC original as DLC. However, they will now be included in the Nintendo Switch version at no extra cost.

Thanks to Astrolabe Games, we have the following details:

The Beheaded, protagonist of Dead Cells, and Icey, the heroine of Icey, will both be available as free playable characters at launch. Players can unlock them by completing special crossover stages inspired by their respective titles.

In BlazBlue: Entropy Effect X, The Beheaded’s playstyle faithfully recreates the deep and flexible combat mechanics of Dead Cells. By switching between different weapon loadouts, players can wield a wide variety of iconic weapons from the original game and freely combine attacks to create diverse combat strategies. Meanwhile, Icey features a completely distinct resource system and visual presentation compared to other characters, with her fully voiced crossover stage recreating the original game’s signature meta-narrative storytelling.

Check out a trailer for the Dead Cells and Icey crossovers in BlazBlue Entropy Effect X below.
