Japanese developer 5pb Games has revealed that there is an Xbox LIVE update for arcade beat-em-up Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds currently in the works, and will be in gamer’s hands shortly. We have the full patch notes of changes that are to be made, so read up and be ready for when they arrive.
It won’t be much longer until Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds receives a well-deserved title update, having only since received a small character DLC of Kurisu from Steins Gate this past March 12th. Once the update comes, however, the game will gain some brand new rules to Battle Ground mode (essentially the “Battle Royale” mode of the game that allows players to use their leveled characters against other players), a few features, most notably "Nightmare+" mode, and some other general fixes to the game. Keep yourselves in the loop with the full list of changes stated below:

Greater coin drops.
