Arc System Works latest entry in the BlazBlue series, BLAZBLUE CHRONOPHANTASMA, will be receiving an update on March 28, bringing the game to Version 1.02. This update includes the highly-requested Unlimited Mars Mode and Survival Mode, both of which were popular in the arcade version of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift.

Unlimited Mars Mode

Unlimited Mars Mode is a ten-stage time attack mode. Each stage features a buffed-up Unlimited character. The achievements are viewable on the Player’s Guild, players can beat the fastest times and aim for the highest ranks.

Survival Mode

Aim to complete as many stages as possible before time runs out in this mode. You can continue until the time limit is reached, but life recovery after each stage is limited and the difficulty gradually increases. Survival mode also uses online ranking, so players can challenge the records of all of Japan.

Arcade Mode and Sparring Mode Time Count Speed Up

By mashing on A+B+C+D+START repeatedly, the the time count can be sped up.

Fight Unlimited Characters in Sparring Mode

Only while using NESiCA, you can select COM opponents that have been faced in Unlimited Mars Mode.

Staff Roll Fastest Speed

Pressing START will scroll at a fast speed until the end, while pressing A-D will increase the speed as long as the buttons are pressed.

Icon and Plates Added

New Icon Maker and Plate options are available in the Item Shop section of the Player’s Guild
