Arc System Works has shared new information about BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. Two characters are now confirmed as free DLC.
Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, both from RWBY, will be on the roster. Additionally, they’ll be available at no extra cost.
Arc System Works saw some fan backlash after it was announced that BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle’s roster would be comprised of 20 characters on the base roster, with 20 more as DLC. Blake Belladonna was the first character that had been announced as paid content. Arc System Works has been listening to the feedback, and looks to have changed its mind. While Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long will be free, Arc System Works hasn’t completely clarified the rest of its approach to DLC.
