BlazBlue Entropy Effect's Official Release: What Gamers Need to Know
A comprehensive Pre-Official Release Q&A, addressing key queries about the game's early access, official release, updates, and future plans.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect is a 2D-action-roguelike game developed by 91Act and licensed by Arc System Works, available on iOS, Android, and PC. However, the Android and iOS versions are only confirmed for Chinese markets. Launched globally in Early Access on Steam in August 2023, its full release is planned for early 2024. The game, set in a world where reality and illusion intertwine, invites players to explore diverse environments, battle unknown enemies, and uncover hidden stories. It features unique character designs and dynamic combat action, emphasizing artistic and satisfying gameplay. Beginning in 2019, the development process involved community feedback through technical tests, shaping the game's quality and experience​.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect Global has released crucial information about its upcoming official launch, addressing several key questions from eager fans. This follows its Early Access release last August.

Early Access to Official Release: Seamless Transition

  • Early Access Confirmation: The version released on August 16th, 2023, was indeed the Early Access version. The official game is set for release on January 31st, 2024.
  • No Extra Purchase: Players who bought the Early Access version will be upgraded to the official release at no additional cost.
  • Release Discount: A special discount will be available at the official release, encouraging new players to join.

Game Development Insights and Adjustments

  • Price Adjustment: The price was raised earlier than planned to accommodate a discount offer at launch, in line with platform rules.
  • Save File Compatibility: Early Access saves won't be transferable to the official version. However, players can still access their Early Access version and saves through specific steps in their gaming library.
  • Content Enhancements: The official version boasts improvements in key areas like Potentials, Tactics, the Entropy mechanic, and the out-battle upgrade system, reflecting player feedback.
  • New Content: The launch will introduce 10 new characters, complete story content, and gameplay updates, focusing on refining the core game experience.
  • Future Plans: Post-release, the focus will shift to adding new content, with a commitment to continuous updates.

Exciting Features in the Official Release

  • Co-op Mode Beta: A beta version of a co-op mode will be introduced, with ongoing refinements based on player feedback.
  • Multilingual Voice Acting: Voice acting will be available in Chinese, Japanese, and English, with BlazBlue characters' voices exclusively in Japanese.

Important Note on Game Save Issues: Due to extensive changes in system designs like the Entropy mechanic, Potentials, and Tactics, along with final optimization based on recent feedback, existing save files face compatibility challenges. 

The team behind BlazBlue Entropy Effect Global is dedicated to delivering an outstanding official version that caters to the preferences of all players, known as "Acers." They appreciate the community's understanding regarding the save file issues and are excited for players to experience the enhanced game. Stay tuned for more updates and the official release on January 31st, 2024!
