Arc System Works has officially confirmed that the new downloadable content character Zohar The 'Doppelganger' will launch for Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes on September 15 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, followed by a Nintendo Switch release on September 23. Voiced by Aiko Ōkubo, Zohar brings a dark, compelling narrative background to French Bread's acclaimed 2D fighting game.
According to lore details shared by the publisher, Zohar was formerly a leader of Bankikai alongside Ogre and Strix. Consumed by anomalous energy from the Abyss during the conflict with Amnesia, she lost her sanity and accidentally inflicted heavy wounds on her close friend Strix. Driven by fractured memories and conflicting impulses, her search for redemption leads her directly into the Night.
Major Balance Update
Alongside the character reveal at Evo 2026, Arc System Works announced a substantial update introducing balance tuning, refinements to core mechanics such as 'Steer Ender' and 'Throw Escape,' improved frame data displays, high-tier player rankings, and an enhanced Mission Mode feature for playback reviews.
