BlazBlue hits 1.7 million worldwide sales

Though it came out just under four years ago in 2008, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and its spin-offs have continued to sell well. Today, Aksys Gamestha𓆏t the highly regarded fighting series from Arc System Works has now passed 1.7 million sal♛es worldwide.

That includes the several iterations of the game over the last few years which have tweaked the experience and added fighters, not terribly unlike the well-known itera𒁏tions of the Street Fighter IV series.

Surprisingly, it was revealed that 800,000 of those sales came from North America. Usually we would expect a hardcore, niche, and utterly bizarre f🦩ighting game to be popular in Japan yet struggle in the United States. Wit💜h numbers like that it's almost certain that we'll be getting more BlazBlue games in the West in the future.

Arc System Works has recently been working on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Persona 4 Arena which releases next week.
