Xblaze (PS3/Vita) is Arc System Works response to the positive fan reaction to the visual novel elements in Blazblue. Apparently this is just part one of a series. The producer Mori Toshimichi says he will be directing it. The story will be tied to the Blazblue’s story. You can watch a useless trailer that shows nothing here.
