Namco X Capcom: Crisis

Namco × Capcom: Crisis (ナムコ クロス カプコン：クライシス) is a 2D crossover fighting game developed by Arc System Works, in collaboration with Bandai Namco Games and Capcom, and published by Capcom. It was first released in the arcade on October 19, 2019 before it was released on April 4, 2020 worldwide for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. Featuring characters from franchises produced by Namco and Capcom to celebrate the 65th and 40th anniversaries of the respective companies, it is the sequel/spiritual successor to Namco × Capcom released 15 years prior and Street Fighter X Tekken, and chronologically the first installment of the Cross Crisis series.

Production
With the success of Project X Zone 3: War of Infinite Worlds, its creator and then-executive director of Banpresto, Sam Imbecile wanted to expand on the story further by creating a prequel series leading up to the game's events. Three months after Project X Zone 3 's release, Sam announced via his Twitter that a sequel to Street Fighter X Tekken is now entering development, especially with the news two months later that Bandai Namco cancelled the development of Tekken X Street Fighter, which was supposed to be in accordance with the agreement the company and Capcom made back in 2012 of making two crossover fighting games between Tekken and Street Fighter based on the style of each.

Plot
In aftermath of the events of Street Fighter X Tekken, in an alternate universe codenamed Earth-Z000X, the Great Lunarium Kingdom, led by an arrogant and confused Princess Lunatemis and her executives, that is standing proudly at the Moon and currently fighting against Earth's revolutionary government rebelling against their colonists, discovers the technology to travel through dimensions and gathers allies from the Dimensions of the Azure Void (the Capcom Multiverse) to expand their empire beyond their own universe.

Opposing Lunarium is a group of superheroes, led by the noble Knight of Justice Volthur, that in turn gathers warriors and fighters from the Dimensions of the Crimson Light (the Namco Multiverse) to defend the worlds from Lunarium's war of conquest and colonization. However, darker forces may be actually manipulating the entire conflict as they please behind the curtain, especially with a peculiar device that was found known as the Crossgate…

Gameplay
The gameplay mechanics of the game are reminiscent of its predecessor Street Fighter X Tekken. This time, players have an option to fight in singles, two-person tag battles or three-on-threes, though the game's Story Mode and Arcade Mode mandates the use of two-person tag teams.
