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.

 * Also, characters from Cardcaptor Sakura are featured guests for the game in commemoration for the franchise's 25th anniversary.
