Dimension Bellum: Chaos of Three Worlds

Dimension Bellum: Chaos of Three Worlds is a 2.5D crossover collaboration fighting video game that is development by the companies Team Clarent Project, In-Verse and ACS. It is confirmed that it will be available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles as well as the PC.

Originally, Team Clarent Project had been in talks with In-Verse for a while with the idea of a fighting game crossover between characters from their respective franchises, but eventually they decided to also include ACS Softworks in on the project. This isn't the first time that all three companies have done a video game before, the first being Cross Code-X2: Project Unlimited Versus Battle.

Dimension Bellum will have 48 characters (16 from each faction of the three companies) to choose from in the game as well as 2 unplayable bosses making a total of 50 characters. The poster characters for Dimension Bellum will be Siegmar Azurmann from the Monstrum Tower series (Team Clarent Project), Vanessa Luxaloss from the Adventures of Vanessa series (In-Verse) and Kiyo Kamiya from the Crisis Moon series (ACS).

Prologue
Damien Close is up to his old tricks again, then again, he's something that would never stop on accomplishing his one dastardly goal: To unleash eternal chaos to all corners of existence. This time, he decides on creating a giant, otherworldy, dimension manipulating monstrosity of a machine in order to cause more chaos, when he activates it, it results in three separate multiverses in being absorbed and colliding with one another, much to his satisfaction. After that happened, a few villainous individuals from those three multiverses appear before him and together they form teeth-clenched alliance united in the goal of causing more mayhem.

However, it would soon appear that the machine Damien Close created turned out to do a little too well, as something created by the machine started to become born, a creature that threatens the existence of the three multiverses. So it is up to the numerous characters from the three multiverses to put a stop to it before it is too late.

Gameplay
The gameplay in Dimension Bellum: Chaos of Three Worlds will have a very familiar style for those who have played Team Clarent Project's fighting crossover, Chaos Clash: Project Xtreme Arena. During battle, players can attack with their characters with a selection of five buttons to use with: Light Attack, Middle Attack, Heavy Attack, Kick Attack and a Charge Attack. All playable characters also possess a special case of command attacks called Unique Attacks, Special Moves and Super Drives. Also during battles that have 3 vs 3 team battles, players can execute Team Strikes which involve all 3 members of the teams to attack with a Super Drive at once.

All 48 playable characters have an ability called the Bellum Rage, which boost their strength, speed and endurance for a period of time. Some of the characters gain a unique appearance when their Bellum Rage is activated, for example: Siegmar Azurmann appears in his Fallen One Monstrum state, Nate Edwards appearance becomes slightly more demonic, Enkohime gains new tails, Balder Bryant revealing his 'hidden power' and Hikari Katsuragi appearing in her Goddess Athena form, eventually when the Bellum Rage activation time runs out, they will all revert to their original selves.

Characters
Of the 50 characters in Dimension Bellum, there are 48 playable characters to choose from with 16 characters each from franchises made by Team Clarent Project, In-Verse and ACS Softworks. A recent DLC update has expanded the character roster to 56 courtesy of 6 new characters added.

Trivia

 * Dimension Bellum: Chaos of Three Worlds is the second game that has involved franchises from Team Clarent Project, In-Verse and ACS Softworks, but the first game that only involves all three companies.
 * The word 'Bellum' in the title is Roman Latin for 'battle' or 'war'.
 * Many characters in the game leave many implicative hints of knowing each other on a personal basis despite being from separate universes, though this may be due to them having met in the previous crossover Cross Code-X2: Project Unlimited Versus Battle. For examples; Vanessa Luxaloss from In-Verse's The Adventures of Vanessa and Tristan Newbury from Team Clarent Project's Lilim know each other, commenting and nervously joking about the insane physical strength of Tristan's homunculus wife Augusta and her passion for pro-wrestling. The vampire brother of Twilight, Dawn, and the demon lord Ninus also know one another. Juno Hawkins is also another unfortunate victim of Astolpho Le Chariot's many exaggerated pranks which had her put up at wanted poster of him with the name 'Alp' on it.
