Super Project Cross Tag Battle

"“Do you believe in destiny?” —The game's tagline"Super Project Cross Tag Battle: Destiny (スーパープロジェクト クロスタッグバトル： Ｄデスティニー) is a 2D crossover fighting game co-developed by Arc System Works, Banpresto and Bandai Namco Games, published by the former and released on April 3, 2021 for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows. It is the fourth installment of the Cross Crisis series, and a fighting game spin-off of Project X Zone 3: War of Infinite Worlds.

In addition to the appearance of all the characters that previously appeared in the other Cross Tag Battle games, characters from Kill la Kill the Game: IF, Sailor Moon, Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier, Tales, Sakura Wars, Darkstalkers and Cardcaptor Sakura are introduced as well.

Production
In E3 2019, the director of Project X Zone 3, Sam Imbecile admits that he is a fan of Arc System Works' crossovers and expresses interest himself in expanding and contributing to the "Cross Tag Battle" series as it is called at the time.

It was confirmed that Daisuke Ishiwatari accepted Sam Imbecile's proposed collaboration for an Arc System Works-centered crossover fighting game for the Cross Crisis Series after the company developed Namco X Capcom: Crisis two years prior. However, the precondition for this collaboration is that the game will be a non-canon spin-off of the Arc System Works' Cross Tag Battle Chronology, unrelated to the series.

Plot
Some time after the events of Super Hero Taisen XX: Lost Heroes, an unknown multiversal catastrophe is tearing apart reality itself. Taking place just before the events of Project X Zone 3, a rebuilt and more powerful version of Byakushin called Zenshin'ou brings fifteen parallel universes into the Cross-Universe from Anime Complex: Cross Arena 2020 and drags them into conflict, as its residents and champions are confronted with confusion and some hostility. United with the forces of evil from many worlds, she opens a Cross Crisis Tournament to determine the strongest of the strongest in existence and see if the winner is worthy to surpass Zenshin'ou and become the god of a new world that she plans to create.

As time passes, the ones involved in the conflict are about to learn the reality behind the "Genocide of Heroes" and the oncoming "War of Infinite Worlds" and the true reason why their worlds are being fused as they are.

Gameplay
The game plays similarly to the previous entries of the Cross Tag Battle series, with additions from gameplay elements that were introduced in Namco X Capcom: Crisis and Anime Complex: Cross Arena 2020.

It has six difficulty settings: Newbie, Amateur, Intermediate, Professional, Expert and Master.

Trivia

 * It is the first game published by Arc System Works where the opening and ending themes are sung by JAM Project, known for their music that are used in many Super Robot Wars and Garo installments, as well as several anime.
 * In addition, Masami Okui, the female member of JAM Project, makes her voice acting debut in the role of the game's main antagonist Zenshin'ou.
 * Unlike in previous installments, the characters of RWBY appear in their post-timeskip costumes, as the "Episode RWBY" of the game takes place post-Volume 5.
 * The english voice actress for Zenshin'ou in this game is Simone Simmons the lead singer of metal band called Epica.
 * Characters from the Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball franchises are included to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the former, the 65th anniversary of Toei Animation, as well as the 70th anniversary of Toei Company.
 * To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Namco's Tales series, various characters from the franchise appear in the game.
 * Also, characters from Cardcaptor Sakura are featured guests for the game in commemoration for the franchise's 25th anniversary.
 * The characters from the Sailor Moon franchise in this game are voiced by the cast of the original 90's anime, despite the characters being their Crystal incarnations.
 * The various third-party DLC characters are given major changes to adjust into the game's roster.
 * In this game Kazuma Kiryuu from Yakuza is voiced now by Kevin Conroy notable for his voice as Batman. While Joker's voice actor Mark Hamill actually reprises his role of Goro Majima.
 * Joseph will appear in his Part 2 incarnation with both his Part 2 and Part 3 powers.
 * Sora appears in this game as young adult thus foreshadowing his appearance in Project X Zone 3: War of Infinite Worlds - Ultimate Edition alongside Kouji Kabuto from Mazinger in his Shin Mazinger appearance and voice and Alicia Arcturus from Kuroinu.
 * Alicia Arcturus from Kuroinu is wearing the less revealing outfit designed by Masami Obari of Gravion fame.
 * Ryuuga Dogai from Garo is designed for this game by Tsukasa Kotobuki thus giving him much manly look as his armor is designed by Keita Amemiya the creator of Garo.
 * In this game Ryuuga Dogai for a first time voice in english by Jason David Frank of Power Rangers fame thus giving him the much serious tone.
 * The game marks the end of the "Cross-Universe Saga" of the Cross Crisis Series, as the apparent destruction of Euzeth Gozzo took the entire Cross-Universe with him.
 * It also retconned the beginning of Project X Zone 3: War of Infinite Worlds, as revealed in the Ultimate Edition that instead of Byaku Shin's defeat and the Centipede's collapse in Project X Zone 2, it is the Cross-Universe's destruction that broke the barrier between matter and antimatter and unleashed the wave of antimatter.
