At the EVO 2019 Championship Series, currently taking place in Las Vegas, Aksys Games and Arc System Works announced Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late[cl-r] would be released in North America in early 2020. This is a revision of Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late and was previously rated for the Switch and PlayStation 4 in May.
The next installment in the 2D fighting game saga - developed by the acclaimed studio French Bread - will feature a new playable character, new moves and "nearly" a thousand balance changes.
This is what the Aksys founder and CEO Akibo Shieh had to say about the announcement:
“With the introduction of a new character, the entire game has been carefully rebalanced and perfected for the greatest possible anime fighting experience to date.”
And here's some information about Under Night In-Birth, directly from the PR:
In Under Night In-Birth, a mysterious phenomenon, known only as "the Hollow Night," has enveloped regions of Japan in darkness for several centuries. Every area affected by the Hollow Night is beset by shadowy monsters--known as "Voids"--who feed off of a power called "Existence." Most humans don't possess the ability to see or come in contact with Voids, and therefore remain safe. You, however, are not so lucky. As one of a cast of unique characters, players fight their way through the dangers of the Hollow Night and defeat those who would try to get in your way. The game features classic 2D anime fighter controls with a splash of devastating combos and unique fighting styles sure to keep your appetite for battle sated. A fight is more than just pressing buttons!
Lastly is a trailer, courtesy of Gematsu:

That's... one heck of a title
Yeah I tried this series out on the PS3 back in the day... it's alright but not exactly a genre highlight.
Nice! I pray to gods this gets dubbed eventually. Chaos is my favorite. And it'd be nice if they made Joker a playable character at some point. (And before you ask, he's a completely original character to this game, and was created as a joke based off one of the developers: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/in-birth/images/3/37/Joker-info.png/revision/latest?cb=20190510141357 )
@Ralizah You should play Ar series (Ar Tonelico, Ar Nosurge). They have some crazy song magic and soundtrack titles. Like this one. EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE/. (Alt)
Er- can we get the post or something that confirms it for Switch?
Currently I can't find anything on it being confirmed on anything.
@HadesThePyro it does say its been rated for switch and ps4 so it probably is coming to switch.
I love this game, the characters are well designed, the music is glorious, and gameplay is top notch in my opinion. I absolutely see it as a highlight, I mean it's represented in BBTAG.
I'll definitely play it but what is with these titles??? They just keep getting more incomprehensible with every new series. Also, I hope there is going to be a hard copy of this one.
Will get this digital when confirmed for Switch
I'll just call it UNIX
Who comes up with these meaningless and unpronounceable game titles and how are they allowed to get past the brainstorming stage? It only takes minutes to check with someone who can speak English fluently.
I loved the first entry on PS3, so I'm very hyped for a Switch Release.
@TheRealKyleHyde It's easily pronounced, just make no sense. I'm not sure what the deal is, but it certainly makes it stand out.
Those are just random words thrown together.
A definitely maybe for me
My favorite series, finally. Playing BBTag almost daily
what's up with the name? on a second thought...very japanese-y XD
I just love that there is a studio called "French Bread" and of course they aren't even French.
@big_bad_bob Umm it's really not.
Open a dictionary, close your eyes and pick a random word. Then turn the page. Do it five times and you will officially have your game's title.
I hope that's what happened here lol.
Now that's a title that rolls of the tongue...
Cannot help but hope we get P4A next
