Publisher Astrolabe Games and developer 91Act announced BlazBlue Entropy Effect X will include collab content from Dead Cells and ICEY from day one.

The collab content will add Dead Cells protagonist The Beheaded and the titular ICEY heroine free on all platforms. Both characters were DLC in the original version of the game.

Here’s a rundown on the new details, plus a trailer:

The Beheaded, protagonist of Dead Cells, and ICEY, the heroine of ICEY, will both be available as free playable characters at launch. Players can unlock them by completing special crossover stages inspired by their respective titles.

In BlazBlue Entropy Effect X, The Beheaded’s playstyle faithfully recreates the deep and flexible combat mechanics of Dead Cells. By switching between different weapon loadouts, players can wield a wide variety of iconic weapons from the original game and freely combine attacks to create diverse combat strategies. Meanwhile, ICEY features a completely distinct resource system and visual presentation compared to other characters, with her fully voiced crossover stage recreating the original game’s signature meta-narrative storytelling.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X is set to launch across Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5 next month, on February 12th, 2026.
