Arc System Works Shows 50%-Complete Zohar, Cuts Power Creep in Under Night In-Birth II

Summary
EVO 2026 gave players their first live look at Zohar in motion, with French Bread saying the fourth Under Night In-Birth II DLC fighter is only 50% to 60% complete ahead of a Summer 2026 launch.
Zohar is built around a floating spike that can transform into a humanoid form, changing the properties of her attacks and positioning her as a clone-type fighter rather than a true puppet character.
The free update shipping with her targets season-long power creep by lowering combo damage and gauge gain, revising Steer Ender and Throw Escape, and adjusting several move properties.
Online play will also add a Rating Point system and top-tier leaderboards, while training mode gets expanded tools as Arc System Works prepares the game for a high-ceiling new character.
The EVO reveal deepened a May announcement that confirmed Zohar's existence but not her mechanics, and it formed part of a wider Arc System Works push across three fighting games in Las Vegas.
