Rollback Netcode Update Coming to BlazBlue: Central Fiction and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle

  

Moments before the announcement of Baiken's return to Guilty Gear -STRIVE-, Arc System Works made another surprise announcement regarding a series we haven't seen in the spotlight in quite a while. BlazBlue: Central Fiction and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle will both receive a Rollback Netcode enhancement on PlayStation 4 and Steam to upgrade online play and decrease latency (which plagued both games for years). It's definitely great to see more classic fighting games getting the Rollback treatment. Rollback Netcode support for BBCF will launch in February 2022. The public beta test for BlazBlue: Central Fiction begins today (December 6th, 2021 - 3:00pm PST) on Steam.

 

 





 
  • Below are instructions from Arc System Works on how to enter the BlazBlue public beta on Steam.
