Revision as of 10:36, 13 February 2016
Project X Zone 2 (プロジェクト クロスゾーン2：ブレイブニューワールド Purojekuto Kurosu Zōn 2: Bureibu Nyū Wārudo, Pronounced Project Cross Zone 2 Brave New World) is a tactical role-playing crossover game and the sequel to Project X Zone. It is part of Namco's X series of crossover games. Although the game is primarily a crossover between Bandai Namco Entertainment, Capcom and Sega as with the previous installment, characters from Nintendo's Fire Emblem: Awakening and Xenoblade Chronicles also make an appearance.[1] The game was released on November 12, 2015 in Japan and will be released on February 16, 2016 in North America and February 19, 2016 in Europe.
Gameplay
Like its predecessor, Project X Zone 2 is a tactical role-playing game in which players strategically maneuver their characters across a field to battle with the enemy. Characters are paired up into Pair Units, with Solo Units consisting of a single character able to assist them when linked together. In battle, players use well-timed attacks and combos to do as much damage to the opponent as possible before their turn ends.
Characters
Like its predecessor, Project X Zone 2 features pairs of characters from all three participating companies (Namco, Capcom and Sega), as well as solo characters who can provide assist attacks during combat. The game will also feature Nintendo characters for the first time with characters such as Chrom and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening and Fiora[2] and Metal Face from Xenoblade Chronicles. An original character, Chizuru Urashima (voiced by Mariko Kouda), was announced, however, whether she is playable or not is currently unknown.[3]

Development
On April 8, 2015, Japanese game magazine Famitsu launched a teaser website with a countdown that would expire in five days, revealing a secret project from Bandai Namco Entertainment. Before its expiration, Project X Zone 2 was announced early to attendees of Bandai Namco's "Level Up" press event in Milan, Italy on April 10, which was prematurely posted on Italian news website E-duesse before being retracted.
The game was officially revealed to the public three days later. It was confirmed in an interview that the game will address the criticisms of the original (such as the story) and that there will be some "surprise" announcements, which later turned out to be the inclusion of Nintendo characters.[4]. The game was originally going to have a simultaneous worldwide release, but the North American and European releases were later delayed to early 2016.
In an February 2016 interview, Kensuke Tsukanaka stated that he would like to continue the series.[5]
