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, "Project Cross Zone 2") is a tactical role-playing crossover game and the sequel to Project X Zone. Although the game is primarily a crossover between Capcom, Sega, and Namco Bandai 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, 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.
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 also features 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 also announced.[3]
