DeadZone Cross Evolution Climax

DZ2K Cross Evolution Climax is an fighting game developed by French Bread, Bandai Namco, Ubisoft and 2K. The game was released in November 12th, 2017 on the PS4, Xbox One, Steam, and the Nintendo Switch.
== Gameplay ==
Similar to Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax, this is a two-dimensional fighting game, in which two players fight against each using both a playable fighter character and an assist character. Fighting uses three main attack buttons: weak, medium, and strong, along with a support button used for summoning a player's assist character. After an assist character is summoned, players need to rebuild their support gauge before they can summon them again. By building the Climax Gauge with attacks, players can perform powerful Impact Skill attacks, and can also use Blast Icons to perform Blast Attacks, allowing them to escape from combos.
In addition to the Climax Gauge, it also has a rage system from Tekken 6 with a few differences.
However, it has a 2 on 2 system, similar to Marvel vs. Capcom, Blazblue Cross Tag Battle, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
== Development ==
The game was in development in late 2011, but was delayed due to unknown reasons. However, the game was officially revealed in E3 2015 with four characters announced.
== Roster ==
At E3 2015, it's been revealed that the roster will have at least 47 playable characters and 25 assist characters, making it 80 in total. Some of them are from Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax.
