We also learn that a Character Pass Part 1 is coming, including a whopping 6 characters in the first year after release.
The story mode will get an additional act (act 3) and you'll be able to skip 1 and 2 if you want. It'll also feature a brand new original character, Rein.
It appears that for now, Rein won't be playable, but she's voiced by Maki Kawase in Japanese and Elizabeth Maxwell in English.

We also get the reveal of the Figure Studio that will likely prove familiar to fans of Arc System Works fighting games, letting you play with the 3D models of the characters and create your own diorama.
