BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend is coming to North America this summer, Aksys Games has confirmed.

The updated version of Arc System Works' 2D fighter will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and Vita. Aksys has also confirmed the game will be purchasable both in stores and as a downloadable.The original Chrono Phatasma arrived in North America last year. This summer's Extend edition adds new features that include a revamped Guard Gauge system and new features in Stylish Mode. It also introduces Remix Heart, a new "heart-warming comedic" addition to the story mode.There are two new characters in Extend, namely Celica and Lambda, as well as new stages and scenarios. Additionally, it includes "digest" versions of the stories from BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. Our review of Chrono Phantasma rated it a familiar but great addition to the fighting series, with "quite a bit here to sink your teeth into whether you're a grizzled veteran, or a curious outsider checking out BlazBlue for the first time."
