Yesterday, thanks to an early Famitsu leak, we heard about three new characters for Project X Zone 2. We learned that Segata Sanshiro will be included in the game as a solo unit, along with Heihachi from Tekken and June Lin Milliam from Star Gladiator.

Famitsu has now published its article online, and another round of characters have been revealed. Zephyr and Vashyron from Resonance will be a pair unit in Project X Zone 2. That’s in addition to Reanbell – from the same game – who acts as a solo unit.

Finally, we have some news about enemies. Zagi from Tales of Vesperia, Baby Bonnie Hood from Darkstalkers, Kite from .hack//G.U., and Shadow from Space Channel 5 will be encountered.

Plenty of screenshots of the latest characters in Project X Zone 2 are in the gallery below. That includes images of the opening video made by Graphinica.
