Project X Zone 2, known in Japan as Project X Zone 2: Brave New World (プロジェクト クロスゾーン2:ブレイブニューワールド Purojekuto Kurosu Zōn 2: Bureibu Nyū Wārudo?), is a crossover tactical role-playing game for the Nintendo 3DS developed by Monolith Soft and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Despite the game being the official sequel to Project X Zone, the plot is a homage to the events of its spiritual predecessor: Namco x Capcom whilst retaining a standalone story. Though the franchise is primarily a crossover between Bandai Namco Entertainment, Capcom and Sega, Project X Zone 2 introduces Nintendo with Fire Emblem Awakening and Xenoblade Chronicles representation. Kogorō Tenzai and Mii Kōryūji from the prequel are absent in this installment. The title arrived in Japan on November 12, 2015, and was released in North America and Europe in February 2016.
Like its predecessor, Project X Zone is a tactical role-playing game in which players strategically maneuver their characters across a field to battle with the enemy. Characters are paired up into Pair Units, with Solo Units consisting of a single character able to assist them when linked together. In battle, players use well-timed attacks and combos to do as much damage to the opponent as possible before their turn ends.
Like its predecessor, Project X Zone 2 features pairs of characters from all three participating companies (Bandai Namco Entertainment, Capcom, and Sega), as well as solo characters who can provide assist attacks during combat. The game also features Nintendo characters for the first time.
