Blazing Blow will be released on October 17 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch and PC via Steam, publisher Aksys Games and developer RareBreed Makes Games announced.

There will also be a limited edition that includes a full-color art book, a double-CD soundtrack, and a set of collectible figure cards.

Here is an overview of the game from Aksys Games:

Inspired by classic arcade fighting game series from industry giants like Capcom and SNK, the upcoming 2D fighting game from developer RareBreed Makes Games recreates the excitement and nostalgia of the pioneers of the 2D pixel art genre while integrating a unique gameplay system with modern mechanics.

Blazing Blow features a four-button system with six normal attacks: light, medium, and heavy punches and kicks, and three defensive moves: block, parry, and defend. A Rush Trigger allows fighters to perform quick attacks and moves, but its use slowly drains the Rush Meter and puts the character in a temporary dazed state. This allows players to perform exciting combos while having to keep an eye on the Rush Meter. The game will feature three game modes: Story Mode, Arcade Mode, and VS Mode, with training, sparring, and online match via Persona AI and online play with GGPO.
