Blossoming games publisher 505 Games has announced that it is to bring Arc System Works’ 2D fighter Battle Fantasia to Xbox 360 and PS3 in the first quarter of 2009.

Developed by the same team that handled cult fighting series Guilty Gear, Battle Fantasia is heavily influenced by Japanese fantasy manga and promises a fully-fledged arcade coin-up experience, whilst also integrating a number of features more common to RPGs.

The game will boast a number of different game modes, including online multiplayer, 12 playable characters and a visually impressive 2.5D game engine.
