BlazBlue: Central Fiction Announced for PS5, a Decade After Original Release
Arc System Works has announced a native PlayStation 5 port of BlazBlue: Central Fiction, the 2D fighting game originally released in 2015. While no specific release date has been provided, the company has confirmed that the PS5 version will include several community-requested enhancements.
Key additions to the PS5 release include rollback netcode with cross-platform compatibility for the PC version, ensuring smooth online gameplay across both platforms. The port will also debut four new language options for the text interface, expanding accessibility for international players. Arc System Works has also committed to implementing improved training modes, which will benefit both new players learning the game’s mechanics and experienced competitors honing their skills.
The announcement marks a significant move for the long-standing fighting game franchise, bringing the latest entry in the BlazBlue series to current-generation hardware over a decade after its original PS4 debut. The inclusion of rollback netcode demonstrates Arc System Works’ commitment to modernizing the online experience for the fighting game community.
