In a recent issue of Famitsu, it was confirmed that Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker will feature characters from Durarara!!, a Japanese light novel series. Celty Sturluson, Izaya Orihara, and Shizuo Heiwajima will all see cameo appearances.

Famitsu doesn’t go into much detail regarding their involvement, but they will partake in battle. We should learn more in the weeks ahead.

If you’re wondering what the connection is between Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker and Durarara!!, artist Suzuhito Yasuda worked on character designs for both projects.
