Arc System Works and French Bread have announced that physical pre-orders are now available ($49.99) for their upcoming fighting game Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Pre-ordering the title will grant players the Season Pass for free, which is comprised of 3 DLC releases, alongside instant access to the playable character Kuon. This fighter will be unlockable in the base game, though those who pre-order the game will be able to play as her right away.

As a light novel-style action fighting game, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes brings 21 returning characters and new In-Births to bolster an already potent roster and a compelling soundtrack.

Players take the role of high school youth and story protagonist Hyde as he encounters the mysterious girl, Linne, prompting his inner EXS powers to suddenly awaken. The two band together in a grueling struggle to defeat Paradox.

However, Kuon the Aeon appears and defeats the two victors, proclaiming his advent of the world’s end. This leads to Linne’s disappearance, causing Hyde to venture alone in an effort to save the world from Kuon.

Players can anticipate an expanded move list, new character abilities, rollback netcode, finely tuned balances, and more. The EXS button will let beginners perform techniques without much difficulty, providing a distinct sense of speed.
