Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes DLC character Izumi launches this month

Publisher Arc System Works and developer French-Bread announced the next DLC character for Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes, Izumi, launches this month.
Izumi is launching first for PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on August 18th and later for Nintendo Switch on August 20th – news confirmed at EVO 2025.
Here’s a rundown on the character, plus a new trailer:
Izumi is the wielder of Initiator–the final key to unlock the door of the Night. To be precise, it takes the form of a mysterious fish that follows her around. Among the Weapons of Judgement, each deeply tied to the Night, Initiator plays the crucial role of “the end.”
Up until now, Initiator has monitored the Night from a distance, but now, the time has come to settle this matter.
The mysterious fish never shares any details about what is afoot; Izumi knows next to nothing of the Night.
She longs for the day to come when she’ll no longer be used by her fishy companion Elefee….
Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes has been available since January 2024, across Windows PC (via Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
