The multi-game crossover, Project X Zone, finally gets an October release date along with eight more characters revealed. Including two original creations, Bandai and Capcom favorites like Arthur from Ghouls n' Ghosts and others from Tales of Vesperia and Valkyria Chronicles 3 join the brawl-that-can't-legally-be-called-a-brawl.
The X Zone series is an original story, much like the Super Robot Wars franchise, that'll combine characters like Dante from Devil May Cry with folks from Xenogears or Frank West with Mega Man to appease everyone that could play Marvel vs. Capcom 3 but not Tsukinoko vs. Capcom.
The format of the game, which comes out on the Nintendo 3DS on October 11th, follows the Super Robot formula by tying attack patterns and combinations into the trigger buttons. It also allows mixing and matching characters to give you that Mega Man and Street Fighter pairing you've wanted since the early days of MUGEN emulators.
No confirmation yet of Project X Zone coming abroad, since even the Super Robot Wars games only come over when staffed by wholly original characters with minor Xenogears overlap.
