Shortly after Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition was announced, there were talks of “upgrading” one of the assist characters to being a playable option. If ever there were a candidate likely to receive that blessing, it would be Tatsuya Shiba, the main character of The Irregular at Magic High School.
And behold! Dengeki Online has just broken news of his arrival, joining the ranks of this iteration’s new playable characters following Emi and Quenser. Tatsuya is the highly popular (and polarizing) protagonist of the Irregular series. Additionally, Miyuki Shiba, who was playable in Fighting Climax, is now selectable as one of the support options in team composition. Tatsuya is set to be a playable in arcades sometime this Fall. As a character he’s designed for all player skill levels.
Do note that when crafting a team, you cannot choose any character more than once. No Tatsuya leads with Tatsuya assists.
There’s no way Tatsuya is the last character to be added in Ignition, so it’ll be interesting to see who the next character is.
