Arc System Works seeks new fighting game partnerships while avoiding BlazBlue and Guilty Gear competition.

Arc System Works is in talks with other companies for new fighting game collaborations, according to CEO Minoru Kidooka. While the company is not done with the BlazBlue series, they do not want it to compete with their main focus, Guilty Gear Strive. Kidooka also stated that the company wants to create something new and impactful for users with the next BlazBlue game. Despite taking on more projects, ArcSys still only employs around 200 people and partners with external developers to help lighten their load.
