Released for arcades on November 20, 2009, exactly a year after the previous game, this update/sequel features two new playable characters: Tsubaki Yayoi, and Hazama (who acts as the [[Final Boss]] of the Arcade Mode). It implements several gameplay changes such as adding new moves to the already existing characters, and tweaking many of their existing features to add more balance. Nu-13 has been [[Dying to Be Replaced|excised and replaced]] by an inferior clone called [[Machine Monotone|Lambda-11]], who [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|plays exactly like her predecessor]] [[Nerf|but more balanced]]. The stages are also redone, featuring new graphics ''ala'' ''[[Street Fighter|Champion Edition]]''.
 
The console version was released July 1, 2010 in Japan, July 27 in America and December 3rd3 in Europe. It once again features Kotoko as the singer for the opening theme, ''Hekira no Sora e Izanaedo'', as well as an insert song from an as-of-now unknown artist. There are three new modes: Legion, which is played like a strategy game, Challenge, which is similar to the challenge modes of other fighting games, and a Tutorial mode where Rachel shows new players how to work the game's mechanics, all while verbally abusing them in her own wonderful way. All of that and a new playable character: Mu-12, [[Final Boss]] of the Story Mode.
 
In addition, DLC introduced three more playable characters: [[Squirrel Girl]] Makoto Nanaya, [[Battle Butler]] Valkenhayn R. Hellsing and [[Magical Girl]] Platinum The Trinity.

''Continuum Shift'' has two more incremental [[Updated Rerelease|Updated Rereleases]]s:
 
'''''BlazBlue Continuum Shift II''''' acted as a balance patch for the arcade and console versions, and featured a new theme song: ''Shinsou'', sung by Asami Imai (Tsubaki's voice actress). A standalone version for the PSP and 3DS also included all three DLC characters, along with Story and Arcade modes for them and Mu-12.
Line 53:
** [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: {{spoiler|In addition to the above, one cannot help but get the feeling that if [[Genki Girl|Makoto]] [[Spanner in the Works|Nanaya]] knew about her status as an extracontinuual anomaly, Hazama's plot in ''Slight Hope'' (and, by extension, ''Wheel of Fortune'') might have gone off a bit more smoothly than it had. That's [[The Power of Friendship]] for ya.}}
* [[Mind Screwdriver]]: Hakumen's story explains particular plot points that were hinted at, but never really explained in the other character's story paths. They make the plot MUCH easier to understand.
* [[More Than Mind Control]]: {{spoiler|What Terumi's using to control Tsubaki, artificially exacerbating her existing sense of duty and feelings of jealousy towards Noel, and spicing things up with some juicy [[Jedi Truth|Jedi Truths]]s.}}
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Breaking Yourself, Noel]]: "One last thing. Try to stay away from Captain Hazama, OK?" Sure, [[Xanatos Gambit|Hazama would have found his way to her sooner or later]], but Makoto was trying to warn Noel that the guy was bad news. If only she paid attention...
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: The "Help Me! Professor Kokonoe" segments.
