Zero Unleashed

Zero Unleashed (also known as Battle of Zero or just Zero Chronicles II) is an upcoming fighting game by In-Verse, it is the sequel of Zero Chronicles, a 2.5D fighting game. The system is basically similar to the first game, but replaces the 2D concept to be a full fledged 3D fighting game.

Gameplay
The main difference from Zero Chronicles is that instead of just plain 2D persepective, the thing changed into a full fledged 3D fighting game, the buttons changed, there's the L. Attack, H. Attack, Kick, Guard, Inward-Outward Dash/Sidestep and Throw. Which can be used for chain combos. The Warning Sign returns but now used with the 40% health and the five super bars.

The Ring out is back. There's also a weapon transformation that makes the weapon look like a Laser-made one. Requiring two and four of the five bar powers. The HP number bar is gone in favor to the Dream Revolution stamina system.

Every character has a different kind of weapon, and the design changed in favor to a more futuristic feel than the Steampunk Chronicles.

Story
Zero as it emerges from the Black Water, challenges everyone in a tournament. Especially a man named Gabriel Arsenault, a stunt actor who sets in a mission to defeat Ivan Browning, as Zero wants his body to resurrect completely from the Black Water. Mirage, a woman with no memories, is connected with the Memphis project. Sophia von Ritter wants to settle the score with her real person who she was cloned from, Solomon.
