Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate reveals Kaho Shibuya DLC

Today, Rocket Panda Games unveiled Kaho Shibuya as a new DLC character for Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate. Currently we don’t have information about launch timing.

The DLC character is based on the real-life Japanese pop culture personality and cosplayer.

Rocket Panda Games provided the following details about the DLC:

A daughter of a humble baker by day and a magical girl by destiny, Kaho’s bread-fueled justice comes to life with a freshly-baked moveset that’s as charming as it is chaotic. Whether flinging baguette blasts or unleashing croissant combos, she’s ready to roll… and rise.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles, California the downloadable content package includes:

• One new playable character Kaho Shibuya, a magical girl with the powers of cuteness and bread, available to use on Co-Op and Battlegrounds Mode.
• Four new enemy mob characters to battle through on the new stage.
• A brand-new stage set in a fictional “LA,” dressed up for Anime Expo season available on Co-Op Mode.
• In-stage Collaboration Camoes with LA local food truck, Okamoto Kitchen and 3D latte art shop from Japan, Latte Pocket.

To commemorate the launch, Japanese girl band, Phantom Breakers will release an original track titled “WISH” feat. Kaho Shibuya, featuring vocals by Kaho herself. The single will be released in conjunction with the downloadable content release on all major streaming platforms.

Kaho Shibuya said of today’s announcement: “My favorite game genre has always been 2D side-scrolling beat ’em ups, so to be in such a game as a menacingly strong [downloadable content] character is a dream come true. This playable Kaho is an amalgamation of a magical girl and a baker—prismatic and sweet. Regarding the former, of course it’s every girl’s fantasy, especially when you grew up watching anime like Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, and Madoka Magica. For the latter, I wanted a unique weapon to stand out, and thought of a baguette as a weapon first, which was inspired from some of my favorite games. This character is from all my nerdy thoughts, and I hope you enjoy beating up enemies with it.”

We have a trailer for the Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate Kaho Shibuya DLC below.
