Arc System Works Europe revealed on Saturday that its Blazblue: CentralFiction fighting game will get a release on the PlayStation 5. The PS5 version will include rollback netcode, cross-play with PC, four new text languages (French, Italian, German, and Spanish), and new features in Training Mode. 

Arc System Works had teased a new DLC character for the game during the EVO 2026 event in June, and revealed a few days later the new character is Trinity Glassfille. The character will be the first new character to join the game since the character Jubei debuted in 2017.

Trinity Glassfille will be available only on the PlayStation 4 and PC versions of the game. The announcement in June did not mention the new character's availability for the arcade, PlayStation 3, or Switch versions of the game.

Arc System Works America added on Saturday the PS5 version release is scheduled for after the "TRINITY -PHASE 3-" update.

Blazblue: CentralFiction originally debuted in Japanese arcades in November 2015, and the game launched in Japan for the PS4 and PS3 in October 2016. Aksys Games released the game in North America in November 2016. The Switch version shipped in February 2019.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect, a side-scrolling roguelite game, launched with its early access version on Steam in August 2023. The full release launched in January 2024 for PC via Steam. The game's BlazBlue Entropy Effect X version launched for the PlayStation 5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S on February 12.
