Codename: Combat Chaos 2

Codename: Combat Chaos 2 (コードネーム：コンバットカオス2) is a 3D fighting game developed by Spike Chunsoft and published by Multisoft. It is a sequel of Codename: Combat Chaos. It will be released for the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.

Gameplay
The gameplay of Codename: Combat Chaos 2 is similar to the first, where players face each other in a 3D-styled stage. It also retains the interchangeable 6-button system from the first game, as well as the Breaker moves and Alters. However, the Ultima Drives from the first game are removed in exchanged for two new types of game play, the Aura Strike and Cell Clash.

The Aura Strike is a move that can increase the speed of a character. It can be initiated by pressing two punch buttons and a kick button simultaneously. The player can then perform any series of basic and special moves to create an Aura Strike until the Timer Gauge at the bottom of the screen runs out.

The Cell Clash is a move that can increase the strength of the character. It can be initiated by pressing the jump button and punch buttons. The player will then perform a powerful version of their Burst Drive. But the Cell Clash will tire the player, decreasing their health a small amount.

There is a gauge to activate these two moves. If the meter is filled blue, then the Aura Strike will activate once the buttons are initiated. If it is red instead of blue, the Cell Clash will be activated instead. However, if a mixture of the two is filled in the gauge, none of these will work. The gauge can be filled depending on how often players use their combos.

Story
It has been a year since the fall of LUCIFER in the previous game. The world has been at peace thanks to the combined efforts of the Fourth Union Empire and the fighters that were forced to fight each other. Some time during this peace, reports identified a woman hacking into various networks around the world, somehow conquering the areas. Tyson, Aldo, and most of the Fourth Union Empire, as well as new fighters, were tasked to stop the woman.
