20 fighters in total
Fighting game fans are going to have a pretty good couple of weeks ahead of them. Not only isKing of Fighters XVon its way in February, but we also have a couple of old games getting a makeover for last-gen consoles in the weeks ahead. Probably the biggest of the bunch isPersona 4 Arena Ultimax, but there’s another fighter that hasn’t received as much press that’s on the horizon as well:Phantom Breaker: Omnia.
You might haveheard that name before, but chances are you’ve never had a chance to play it. That’s because the game originally released for the Xbox 360 only in Japan before seeing an updated version launch on the PlayStation 3 in the country as well. Outside of Japan, we’ve only been able to experience the franchise through a spin-off, but come March 15, that’s changing. That’s whenPhantom Breaker: Omniawill launch worldwide with two new characters in tow: Artifactor and Maestra.
For obvious reasons stated above, I haven’t had the opportunity to playPhantom Breakerbefore, but everything I’m reading about it is piquing my interest. Players will be able to pick from one of three different fighting styles—Quick, Hard, and Omnia—that will alter how each of the 20 included combatants handle.
With developerMagesat the helm here, I have faithPhantom Breaker: Omniawill be worth keeping on my radar. If you feel the same way too, you can look forward to picking it up starting Jul 08, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
