Project X Zone 2 was a slightly surprising reveal in the last month, as the original on 3DS had performed reasonably but hadn't exactly lit up the charts. Nevertheless we have another bold crossover RPG featuring diverse characters from Capcom, SEGA and Bandai Namco; it's as crazy as it sounds.
The cast for this latest entry will be equally improbable in its diversity, and a fresh batch of screenshots show that off; standouts for us in this group are Phoenix Wright and Axel from Streets of Rage. There are plenty more besides, too.
Check them out below, along with some current box art and the reveal trailer from April. It's quite a line-up that's coming together, and this is due for a Western release in Fall.

This roster seems like it's going to be fun. I hope we see some more oddball characters this time around. Very happy Gemini and Sakura came back, and with a mop attack no less. Fall can't get here any sooner.
@SuperPokefan95
Agreed, some characters like Klonoa and Firebrand (Though I think he was an enemy in the first) would be awesome additions. Though Leon already makes this game better. It would make it GOTY if it wasn't RE6 Leon.
I see what you are trying to do Sega, tempting me in buying the game.
Shame I didn't like the first one. I wonder if that is Wendy Oldbag in the Pink Samurai Costume... OH GOD!
This game looks like FE only with various IP characters instead,. Must be that Capcom loves FE i guess.
Don't know if this is good enough like FE for me to get this as I didn't get the first one.
I was disappointed to learn Phoenix and Maya were a solo unit rather than a duo, but I'll take it. It's still awesome they'll be featured, and I can't wait to combine them with my previous two favorites, Xiaomu and Reiji.
@Tops Exactly the same feeling here. I didn't w the first one because there were not enough characters that I was a fan of.
@RadioShadow Hmm, if Oldbag was there, that might mean she was looking for Edgey-poo (perhaps he's in the game). Well if you've got the Pink Princess, you might as well get Powers to do the Steel Samurai.
Yes! I KNEW Axel would get in!
Yes! Yeess!! I'm so getting this. I was already pretty sure I was gonna get it seeing as I liked the first one but now when I know that Wright is actually confirmed there is pretty much no doubt in my mind.
OMG I can't wait! This is going to be AMAZING!!! I loved the last one.
Took me awhile to realize Ryu was doing the Alpha version of the Metsu Shoryuken.
I am not excited for this game at all but damn i would love to play as phoenix wright and maya.
This game looks slightly prettier than the first one already, somehow. Well, it'll be an immediate download when it does release for me. I'm glad also glad to see X is coming back, along with the females they've shown here (seriously, the first screenshots of this game seemed to lack a lot of females). I just really hope they bring back Chun-Li and Morrigan...
@DarthNocturnal - Oh, right, I remember when I downloaded this game for the first time, I was surprised not to see any Sonic characters. But right now, I don't think Sega has an idea of which VERSION of Sonic they should use. Obviously most people would prefer to see the normal-looking Sonic that's in Smash Bros., but...Sonic Boom is still a decent TV show...
My hype is steadily increasing, and it isn't going down anytime soon.
Fantastic new characters, and I'm also happy Sakura and Gemini are back as well.
They made the Wright choice.
Yes, this is awesome! This one should be even better than the first. I really wanted Phoenix/Maya to be added, and I'm glad X is back. But where's Zero?
@Artwark: No, this game really isn't anything like FE. In between turns it's similar to FE but the combat is more like a fighter. I recommend checking out the demo on eShop if it's still there.
@DarthNocturnal @EmmatheBest: I think when they made the first one, they only wanted to use more humanoid characters, so no Sonic, Tails, Klonoa, Pac-Man, etc. We got Mega Man X, but no classic Mega Man, so that could draw the line at how "humanoid" they wanted them to be. Opa Opa was the only non-humanoid but that was just a cameo.
Dang this is going to be fun.
Nice inclusions. Hopefully Blaze is included as Axel's partner. Now give us some Sonic and Soul Calibur characters.
very likely this'll will be my favorite 3ds game this year.
I hope the Resonance of Fate trio is in this one
@Tops That's the only reason anyone's buying it
well they really should now do an english voice over, i skipped the first one because of the language.
The screen shots look great. Will have to finish the first game before I purchase that. Its as mad as a bag of cats!
