BlazBlue Successor Being Considered by Arc System Works Producer

During Anime Expo 2025, Guilty Gear Strive producer Ken Miyauchi expressed his enthusiasm about revisiting one of Arc System Works’ other iconic franchises: BlazBlue.

“I played BlazBlue before joining Arc System Works,” Miyauchi-san shared. “So there’s definitely a part of me that wants to work on it.”

“Mori-san [Toshimichi Mori, series creator] started from the story’s ending and wrote backwards,” explained Miyauchi-san. “So BlazBlue‘s story has technically concluded in a satisfying way for now.”

Tori-san left the company in 2022 and founded Studio Flare. While Arc System Works is currently focused on expanding the Guilty Gear universe, Miyauchi-san’s comments suggest the BlazBlue legacy isn’t being ignored.
