The three new characters that were previewed are Aegis from Persona 4 Arena, Carmine from Under Night In-Birth, and Jubei from BlazBlue CentralFiction, though they’re just a few of many DLC characters that will be included in the game post-launch. With at least nine different DLC options announced in the past for the game, players will have many additions to look forward to with Arc System Works – recently known for Dragon Ball FighterZ – will extend the life of the game.
However, those DLC options haven’t sat very well with players since it was unveiled how many post-launch, paywalled characters there would be. With the original plans splitting the roster between 20 included characters and 20 from DLC, players weren’t too happy at the prospect of buying half the game’s characters after already purchasing the base game.
With petitions and other calls to action coming from players, Arc System Works took the feedback into consideration and announced that some changes would be made to add more characters completely free of charge.
