The 2D fighting game BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is the sequel to the previous year's BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, once again developed by Arc System Works (of Guilty Gear fame). Similarly, it was also released for the arcades initially (in November 2009), and later ported on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles, with a North American release handled by Aksys Games. The consoles version is releasing on July 1, 2010 in Japan, and on July 20, 2010 in North America. The game's opening animation was created by the anime studio Gonzo, as they did with Calamity Trigger.
