Famitsu recently revealed a few new characters for Project X Zone with a ton of pictures. So, what is Project X Zone? It’s a crossover stradegy RPG using characters from Capcom, SEGA and Namco universes. The game is being developed by Banpresto and Monolith Soft. If you read the title, you know that Bahn from Fighting Vipers was announced. Who else? Tron (Mega Man), Reiji Arisu (Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier), Xiaomu (Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier), Lady (Devil May Cry), and Lindow (God Eater) are the rest of the announced characters.
