PQube today announced a 22 February UK release date for BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend, meaning Arc System Works’ hardcore fighting series will be ready to bolster PS Vita’s already impressive launch line-up.

The series, known for its high tempo action and colourful anime art style, will feature all DLC characters (Makoto Nanaya, Valkenhayn R Hellsing, Mu12, and Platinum the Trinity) from the off, as well as a new character, the evil alchemist  Relius Clove. It will also feature two new modes (Unlimited Mars and Abyss) and new online Team Battles.

BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend will launch on PS3 on the same day, and a limited edition version is available, featuring 12 high-quality art prints and the Song Interlude soundtrack.
