Today SEGA announced the latest entry in the Shining franchise, Blade Arcus from Shining, a 2D arcade fighting game. Tony Taka, the man responsible for most of the franchise’s character designs of the last decade, has returned to design the characters for this game. I’m disappointed by this bit of news, as I don’t care for his work in the franchise.
The game will feature characters from Shining Blade, like Sakuya and Rage, as well as least two new characters. Blade Arcus from Shining is set to come out this summer in Japan.

The fact we’re getting this before Virtua Fighter 6 disappoints me! The good thing is that it at least shows SEGA still clearly interested in fighters so I’ll imagine Virtua Fighter 6 is only a matter of time.
Hopefully…
So I guess the people who worked on Shining are making this one too? or the Valkyria team? =\
