BlazBlue: Central Fiction Azure Edition Announced for Europe

As Japan is gearing up for the console release of BlazBlue: Central Fiction, it’s Europe’s turn for an exciting announcement: dubbed “Azure Edition” and published by PQube, the latest in the BlazBlue fighting game series will go on sale this November with a handful of special goodies.

Similar to the US BlazBlue Limited Edition, the Azure Edition includes:

  • An original 100-page artbook with a special collection ranging from all the games in the BlazBlue series
  • The BlazBlue Song Interlude III Official Soundtrack (ten tracks)
  • A Noel Vermillion Nendoroid Petit figure–the second version of the Bolverk-wielding fighter, fully supervised by BlazBlue creator Toshimichi Mori
  • Exclusive artwork on the game box

This is available to pre-order exclusively through the Rice Digital store for £59.99 (PS3) or £69.99 (PS4), along with a special BlazBlue hoodie. While the date hasn’t been specified yet, the November release is closer in line with the US version.

Aksys Games also recently announced a BlazBlue: Central Fiction Limited Bundle with a HORI game pad.

Stay tuned to our continued coverage of BlazBlue as the Japanese version arrives on consoles on October 6th.

Understand Urien’s Moves in Street Fighter V with This Hitbox Breakdown Video

With any new character, one of the most important things to learn is how the hit boxes of their moves work. This information is needed both by players wanting to use that character, and those learning to fight against them, as it informs them of the proper ranges and space controlled by these moves.

For Street Fighter V’s latest character, Urien, alb3530 has put up a video breaking down the Illuminati lord’s moves and hitboxes. In the video below, each one of Urien’s moves is played twice, first in real time, and then in slow motion. This allows players to clearly see the ranges for where these moves hit, where they’ll cause proximity guard, as well as where they can be counter-poked.

Osiris: New Dawn – First Adventures on Proteus 2

The first day of early access for Osiris: New Dawn has come and gone, and our Bill Murphy survived to tell the tale of his first official adventures on Proteus 2. As we wrote back in our PAX West preview, Osiris is a smaller-scale MMO where players are in the dozens per server, not hundreds (at least not yet). That said, Bill’s found that going solo or on a private multiplayer server is probably your best bet for now.
