Today Aksys Games has announced that they will be publishing Arc System Works’ XBlaze Code: Embryo, a visual novel based in the same universe as the Blazblue series, in the West and are currently planning on releasing it sometime this summer.
XBlaze was announced back in 2012 and the story takes place 150 years before the events of the first Blazblue game. The story will follow Touya Kagari, a high school student that is suddenly attacked and pulled into circumstances he has difficulty understanding. There will be multiple paths for the player to follow which will result in a number of different endings, including a gag ending.
