Blazing Strike confirmed for Fall 2022 launch, limited edition revealed

Publisher Aksys Games and developer RareBreed Makes Games shared the latest on Blazing Strike during the All Aksys 2022 presentation today, including news about a limited edition.

First up, the fighting title will launch on Switch this fall. As for the limited edition, you can get a look at it above.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Inspired by classic arcade fighting game series from industry greats such as Capcom and SNK, Blazing Strike evokes the excitement and nostalgia of 2D pixel art genre pioneers while incorporating a unique games system with modern mechanics.

Blazing Strike features a four-button system with six normal attacks: light, medium and heavy punches and kicks, as well as three defense moves: block, guard and parry. A Rush Trigger enables fighters to execute fast-paced attacks and movements, but using it will slowly drain the Rush Meter, sending the character into a temporary groggy state. This allows players to execute exciting combos while having to manage the Rush Meter. The game will include three play modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and VS Mode, with training, sparring, and online match via Persona AI, and online play powered by GGPO.

Blazing Strike will be sold physically and digitally on Switch and the limited edition contains a full-color art book, double CD soundtrack, and a set of collectible character cards.
