Under Night In-Birth II Adds Zohar On September 16 For PS4, PS5, And Steam

Arc System Works announced on September 11 that Zohar, the fourth additional playable character for UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes, releases on September 16 at 10:00 JST for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Steam versions, with the Nintendo Switch version following on September 24 at 10:00 JST. Zohar is voiced by Aiko Okubo. She is a speed-type infighter who fights alongside a Doppelganger, her other self, and her ability carries the name Mirror-Imagined EXS Doppelganger. Her moveset combines giant spikes with a cross-up that moves her behind the opponent, setting up pincer attacks and guard breaks. Zohar is not part of the Season Pass that covers earlier DLC characters and is sold on her own. A character trailer showing her Doppelganger-coordinated battle scenes is already available.
Zohar is the fourth DLC character for the game and the first since Izumi, roughly a year earlier. Her ability is named Mirror-Imagined EXS "Doppelganger," and she attacks with giant spikes while warping behind the opponent to set up pincer attacks and guard breaks.
The announcement arrived on September 11, 2026, and the character trailer is already live. Zohar joins a roster that stands at 28 playable characters once she is added, counting this title's newcomers Kagura, Tsuru, Kuon, Uzuki, Ogre, and Izumi.
Her backstory ties her to two other characters. She once formed the "Mangeikai" (called "Banki-kai" in the official press materials) with Ogre and Strix. During the battle against Amnesia, the power of the Abyss consumed her and she gravely wounded Strix, her close friend. She later heard that Strix was alive, changed her name, and went into the Night to search for her.
- Season Pass: includes Kuon unlock right, Uzuki, Ogre, and Izumi, but not Zohar.
- Deluxe Edition: 8,000 yen before tax, with the main game, a 25-character announce set, and the UNI2 Season Pass.
- Standard Edition: 6,800 yen before tax in package and download form.
The game launched on January 25, 2024 and supports rollback netcode, with Ranked, Casual, and Player matches online.
