The video features one of the new characters who will be included as new entries from 2.0, and it’s Blitztank from Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf. Achse.

While he certainly comes from a rather obscure series unless you’re really a dedicated fan of fighting games, the most peculiar element is that he’s a tank, with tracks, armored body, and all the bells and whistles. 

You can watch his moves in action below, with a handy explanation in English.

The new characters come from five different franchises, and you can find a handy list below.

  • Yumi (Senran Kagura Estival Versus),
  • Neo Politan (RWBY),
  • Akatsuki (Akatsuki Blitzkampf)
  • Blitztank (Akatsuki Blitzkampf)
  • Celica (BlazBlue)
  • Elizabeth (P4A)
  • Adachi (P4AU)
  • Hilda (Under Night In-Birth)
  • Susanoo (BlazBlue)

The expansion pack will cost $24.99 in the west and will also add a new scenario.

Arc System Works will also release a 2.0 balance patch, so those who don’t buy the expansion will still be able to play against those who will online without any barriers.

Both the expansion and the patch will be released on November 21 for all platforms.
