Dengeki Online just announced a new iteration of their crossover fighter Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax. As of now, the expanded release is only set for arcades in Japan, and the expansion’s new title hasn’t been publicly announced. However, it is currently set for release this summer. This expanded release will also feature balance adjustments to the existing cast, too.
Topping off the news of this release is the confirmation of a new playable character: Emi Yusa from Hataraku! Maou Sama/The Devil is a Part-Timer. Emi and Sadao Maou’s personalities constantly antagonize each other, to say nothing of their backgrounds as a holy knight and a devil, respectively. But as they are miraculously transported to the real world outside of the world of magic and demons, their powers are limited and their former lives serve as a sort of bonding point, however shaky that bond may be (perhaps it’s actually stronger than we think!) Now Sadao is a little less out of place by himself, and screenshots already do show him as a support character to Emi to reflect both of them representing the same franchise (though players are free to choose their team combinations, you cannot change whether or not they are playable or assist-only.)
Sega published and assisted with development of Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, though the main development forces were French Bread (Melty Blood) and Ecole Software. The game is rife with Sega shoutouts including characters and stages; hopefully we may see some more with this new release. That we’ll see more new characters besides Emi from within Dengeki Bunko is certain.
The article teases a more detailed announcement of this game on May 28th, so expect additional news around that time!
