Project X Zone 2: Brave New World, the mega crossover featuring characters from Capcom, Namco Bandai, and Sega was featured this past week at the Tokyo Game Show, and several new characters were revealed. Chrom and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening join the cast, which now means that we could be seeing characters who aren’t originally from a Capcom, Sega, or Namco game. Also, Fiora from Xenoblade Chronicles joins Kos-Mos to form a team. These 4 characters will join characters such as Pheonix Wright, Leon Kennedy, and Jill Valentine as just a few of the many playable characters in Project X Zone 2. There’s another new character coming to Project X Zone 2 as well. Find out who it is after the jump.
Segata Sanshiro, Sega’s fictional mascot for the Sega Saturn in Japan will be joining the game’s cast as well. While we Americans were stuck with a bunch of weird shit like this to promote the Saturn, Japanese viewers were subjected to commercials featuring Segata doing awesome shit like throwing people so hard they explode, beating up teenagers, and dragging huge Sega Saturns through the woods. To get an idea of who he is, check out these videos:
So far we have characters from Yakuza, Star Gladiator, Summon Night, and even Streets of Rage showing up, so at this point, anyone is fair game. What other heroes will be showing up? We’ll just have to wait and see. PXZ2 hits Japan in November and the U.S on February 16 of next year.
