BlazBlue: CentralFiction is coming to PlayStation 5 with rollback netcode and cross-play with PC, Arc System Works Europe announced on October 10. The PS5 version is also set to add French, Italian, German, and Spanish text options, alongside new Training Mode features.
The announcement gives the long-running fighter a fresh set of online features, but there is no PS5 release date yet. Arc System Works America says the release is planned for after the TRINITY -PHASE 3- update.
A new platform for a long-running fighter
BlazBlue: CentralFiction first arrived in Japanese arcades in November 2015. It reached PS4 and PS3 in Japan in October 2016, followed by a North American release from Aksys Games the next month; the Switch version shipped in February 2019.
That spread across platforms means the PS5 version is not the game’s first console stop, but its announced online features are the headline additions. Rollback netcode and PC cross-play are confirmed for PS5, while the announcement also names four added text languages and changes to Training Mode. It does not specify what those Training Mode features will be.
| PS5 feature | Confirmed details |
|---|---|
| Online play | Rollback netcode and cross-play with PC |
| Text languages | French, Italian, German, and Spanish |
| Training Mode | New features, not yet detailed |
| Release timing | After the TRINITY -PHASE 3- update; no date announced |
Anime News Network and Push Square both reported the PS5 announcement and its feature list. Neither supplied a firm launch date, price, or confirmed upgrade terms for existing PS4 owners, so those details remain unannounced.
Trinity’s update comes first
The PS5 release is separate from the upcoming addition of Trinity Glassfille. Arc System Works teased a new DLC character during EVO 2026 in June and identified Trinity a few days later. She is the first new character joining the game since Jubei debuted in 2017.
Trinity is planned for the PS4 and PC versions only, according to Anime News Network. The outlet also reports that Arc System Works America placed the PS5 release after the TRINITY -PHASE 3- update. The announcement does not confirm whether Trinity will later appear on PS5, so the two releases should not be treated as a package.
For now, players have a feature list and a release sequence, not a date. Arc System Works says more details are coming, including information about the PS5 version and its new Training Mode features.
