Check out the Trailer:
Perhaps the biggest additions coming to Rev 2 are the two brand new playable characters: Baiken and Answer. Fans will recognize Baiken as the pink-haired samurai from older entries in the series. After making a cameo in the Revelator story, she comes back into the fold as one of the most versatile characters in the game.
If you’re already familiar with Baiken’s playstyle, you’ll be happy to know that a lot of those mechanics and moves are carried over to Rev 2. She is a master of “Offensive and Defensive Unity”, with a suite of abilities that can help her control any situation. Her most notable tool is Azami, a counter-stance that lets you absorb an enemy blow and immediately follow up with a number of different attacks. There’s also a far-reaching forward dash command that similarly chains into a variety of moves.
