Blade Strangers launched on Switch nearly a year ago. You might have assumed that updates for the game were finished, but that’s actually not the case.

It’s been announced today that three new characters are joining Blade Strangers. They include Aban from 1001 Spikes, Piaa from Doki Doki Poyatchio, and someone else from Umihara Kawase. The update is being released in celebration of Blade Strangers’ first anniversary.

Aban Hawkins from 1001 Spikes seems to be coming to Blade Strangers as DLC

Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments

It seems like Blade Strangers, the crossover fighting game from Nicalis, is getting at least one new character as DLC. Nicalis posted the screenshot you see above on Twitter, alongside the text “Aban performs a perfectly timed Counter vs Curly in #CrystalCri–wait, what!?! This isn’t #CrystalCrisis!”.

Aban (Hawkins) from 1001 Spikes is one of the characters in the picture, however the game shown isn’t Crystal Crisis, a crossover puzzle game in which Aban is confirmed to appear, but Blade Strangers, where he isn’t playable yet. This seems to indicate that Aban will be added to Blade Strangers as DLC; it’s unclear whether this’ll be paid or free DLC.
