Blade Arcus from Shining EX (Japanese)

Sega is bringing its Shining series arcade fighting game entitled Blade Arcus from Shining to PlayStation home consoles, releasing this November in Japan!

While they will be the focus of the story expect to also see many of your favorite characters from the Shining series weaved throughout, as well as the possibility of new Shining characters being added specifically for the console release!
