Million Arthur: Arcana Blood is a 2D fighting game first released for arcades in November 2017. Popular characters from the Million Arthur series like Arthur Kenjutsu no Shiro and Thief Arthur, as well as Lise from Seiken Densetsu 3 and more appear in 2D pixels graphics and participate in flashy battles.
Development is handled by Arcana Team, which developed the Arcana Heart series and Nitroplus Blasterz. Fighting game fans can of course enjoy it as a pure fighting game, but there is also a story supervised by Kazuma Kamachi, as well as familiar background music and productions implemented in various places. Additionally, there are other elements that only appear in this game, including the theme song “Die or Dice?” sung by Kotoko, theme background music for Nitou Arthur and Iai Arthur composed by Yoko Shimomura, and more.
Three New Characters

Additionally, on August 28, the arcade version will add support knight Other World-Style Akira Oono from the anime High Score Girl. She will also be implemented in the PlayStation 4 version for a total of 13 playable characters and 31 support knights. Of course, every character, including Iai Arthur (voiced by Sumire Uesaka) and Thief Arthur (voiced by Ayane Sakura), will be voiced by a cast of wonderful actors.
