PQube and Arc System Works have revealed that BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition is heading to Nintendo Switch in Europe, launching on 8th February 2019.
The game will allow players to experience the final chapter of the BlazBlue saga with upwards of 40 hours of gameplay in its story mode, over 30 unique characters to play as, and more than 60 stages. Naturally, the Switch will enable you to challenge your friends - or yourself - on the go, with all DLC and previous updates being included to create "the most comprehensive version" of the game so far.
This new release date means that European players will actually get their hands on the game just a day after Japanese players; a North American date hasn't been revealed at the time of writing. Incidentally, after an ironic mix of comments left by fans on the BlazBlue Facebook page, it has also been confirmed that there will be no English dub present in the Switch release - just like the PS4 edition of the game.
Are you excited to see the game arrive in Europe? Let us know if you'll be grabbing a copy in the comments below.

Day 1. (Yes, this is all I wanted to say, thank you NL CMS)
No dub = no buy I'm afraid.
I'll buy it. I'll have no idea what's going on but I don't care. Blazblue makes the kingdom hearts story look tame and reasonable.
@Shiryu lol 😆
Yeah I’m pretty excited as well, I’ve been waiting for this at least since the tag team crossover spin-off was announced.
I want this and Cross Tag Battle. It might not be Day 1 as it’ll be discounted a few months after release I’m sure.
@IBeAGamer for me a forced english dub is a reason to not buy a game, english dub of 95% of all japanese games are terrible and cringey... and so soulless.
Exceptions? Persona games for example, english and japanese dubs are great.
I don't need a dub! I can read😊
@Rayquaza2510 blazblue english dub was pretty great though.
Can’t wait. I passed on PS4 due to the dub issues but at this point I may as well just get it and see the end. Plus having all the DLC will be great.
time to make an Europe Switch account, so i can buy these on the eshop.
should also get Cross Tag Battle as well too.
I would have bought it again if they added the English dub .. shame on you arcsys
Kinda over this series to be honest, it looks fantastic but playing it has never really been my thing.
@Aozz101x Pretty sure this will be coming to the US as well, they probably just hasn't announced it yet because it is still a ways off.
YESH. Come to me my pretty!
@Aozz101x it will come out in Usa and Canada as well probably same day
Where's our NA copy..common.....
BlazBlue: Central Fiction - Special Edition but no English voice-works? What's so special about this game when it's missing the main feature the series is known for?
@Nintendudesid @JayJ thanks for the info, I'll wait for the US release instead.
#NoDubNoBuy
If there's no english dub I'm not buying it. Every other game in the BlazBlue franchise was dubbed and it's frankly disrespectful of Arc Sys not to dub the Series Finale.
@Rayquaza2510 Yeah well they dubbed every game in the franchise except for this one, and this is the SEQUEL FINALE of a SERIES so for them to not dub this is very disrespectful of the western fans who supported the franchise from the beginning.
And if you didn't like the Dub in any BlazBlue game you always had the option to turn it off.
