Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax, the upcoming 2D fighting game based on the characters of Dengeki Bunko’s light novels (Sword Art Online, Durarara!, Oreimo, etc.) will be releasing on the 6th of October in North America, South America and Europe. The game will feature both a physical and digital release in North and South America, and a Digital-only release in Europe. It will be priced at $39.99 for the PlayStation 3 version, and $29.99 for the PlayStation Vita version.
Both the North American and South American versions will include a special launch edition which will feature a ‘Bonus Edition Soundtrack CD’ with songs from notable SEGA composers, including Teruhiko Nakagawa, Naofumi Hataya, Kenichi Tokoi, Jun Senoue, and plenty of others. The CD Soundtrack will only be available for retail pre-orders and a limited number of launch copies. Unfortunately for our European friends, the release will be digital only.
For those of you that haven’t seen the official launch trailer yet, it’s available here:
Having played Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax in both arcades, and on the PlayStation Vita with the Japanese release; I can vouch that whilst it’s a simple fighter which probably won’t ever be seen making its way into the competitive scene, it’s still a fun niche game for fans of both the anime/manga and fighting game genres respectively.
You can expect a Western Release on the 6th of October and we hope to have a full review out to accompany it.
