UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes : New Character and Major Udate
Arc System Works Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that "Zohar" will join the roster of the latest release in the UNI series, "UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes" as a new DLC character in Summer 2026.
The full identity of the new DLC character, previously teased only as a silhouette, has finally been unveiled. Joining the roster in Summer 2026 as the fourth additional DLC character is Zohar: Claws encroaching unseen, the "Doppelganger".
Zohar was a key member of the "Bankikai," the organization she formed alongside Ogre and Strix. Details regarding her battle style, unique abilities, and other character information are scheduled to be revealed at a later date. Please stay tuned for more exciting updates!
The Major Update of UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes will also arrive at the same time as Zohar’s release. In order to curb power creep, the overall game balance will be adjusted by reviewing combo damage and gauge gain. Other system mechanics such as "Steer Ender", "Throw Escape" and the properties of certain powerful moves are currently being revised.
In high-ranked matches, Rating Points will now fluctuate in addition to the traditional RIP (Rank Increase Points). A dedicated ranking system is also planned to be added.
The frame data display will be improved to support the visualization of opponent information and gap frames in sequences. Frame data will also be viewable in Replay Mode.
In Mission Mode, a new feature will be added that allows players to review their previous play. Further information will be announced soon.
