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) is a tactical role-playing crossover game and the sequel to Project X Zone. It is part of Namco's X series (which includes the Namco X Capcom games). Although the game is primarily a crossover between Capcom, Sega, and Bandai Namco Entertainment as with the previous installment, characters from Nintendo's Fire Emblem: Awakening and Xenoblade Chronicles also make an appearance.[3] The game will be 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.
Characters
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 from Xenoblade Chronicles.[4] An original character, Chizuru Urashima (voiced by Mariko Kouda), was announced, however, whether she is playable or not is currently unknown.[5]
