Fans of the Under Night In-Birth and Hunter x Hunter gaming franchises have much to celebrate this week, with thrilling new character reveals announced at Anime Expo 2024. Both games are set to expand their rosters with unique and dynamic additions, promising to keep players engaged and on their toes.
Uzuki Joins the Fray in Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes
French Bread and Arc System Works have officially revealed Uzuki as a new addition to the Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes lineup. Debuting at the “ARC Live Special Edition” panel, Uzuki is set to be available as a downloadable content (DLC) character this coming August. This exciting news has fans eagerly awaiting to see how Uzuki will impact the competitive scene, particularly with the character’s trial set to take place at the prestigious EVO 2024 event.
Described as “the witness of all deaths” and “the Black Monger who lurks in the night,” Uzuki brings a chilling and imposing presence to the game. Voiced by Satomi Akesaka, Uzuki wields the Necromance weapon Beloa and appears poised to deliver dramatic and intense battles. Her backstory reveals a dark yet fascinating character, driven by the chaos and suffering she can inflict on others. Her journey led her to join the Amnesia organization, where rebellion against the obsessed leader shapes her narrative arc.
Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes continues the storyline of the “Hollow Night,” featuring 21 returning characters and three new ones – Kaguya, Tsurugi, and Kuon – at launch. Players on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam have already embraced this latest installment, and the upcoming introduction of Uzuki is expected to spice things up even more.
Chrollo Anchors the Roster in Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact
The second major reveal at Anime Expo 2024 came from the developers of the upcoming Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact game, where Chrollo, the fearsome leader of the Phantom Troupe, was announced as a new playable character. Slated for release in 2024, this game promises an immersive experience with characters beloved by fans of the manga and anime series.
Chrollo’s combat style is aggressive and highly versatile. Utilizing his “Indoor Fish [Swimming]” ability, he can attack solo or coordinate with allies, making him a valuable asset in both offensive and support roles. Chrollo’s inclusion brings a strategic depth to the game that fans are excited to explore. Joining Chrollo on the roster are iconic characters such as Gon, Killua, Leorio, Kurapika, Hisoka, Netero, Bisky, Machi, and Uvogin.
A New Era for Fighting Games

Players are particularly keen to see how Uzuki’s unique abilities and Chrollo’s strategic versatility will influence gameplay dynamics. The character designs and abilities reflect the developers’ commitment to staying true to the source material while introducing fresh elements to keep the player base engaged.
Moreover, Arc System Works and French Bread have a storied history in the fighting game community, known for their meticulous attention to detail and rich storytelling.
