At Akihabara’s Dengeki Bunko Fall Festival, new characters for Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition were revealed: Shirai Kuroko (playable) and Uiharu Kazari (support) from the A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun. The announcement was teased leading up to the event by Sega.
Kuroko is the best friend of the other playable Index/Railgun representative Misaka Mikoto, and possesses the Teleportation Esper ability. Uihara is Kuroko’s friend, and she possesses the Thermal Hand Esper ability. They’re both in “Judgment”, a student-based law enforcement organization. In the image above, both Kuroko and Uihara are on the right side of the screen, with Kuroko closer to the center.
Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition releases for Japan on the 17th of December for Vita, PS3, and PS4. So far four new playable characters have been announced for Ignition. There’s no word on whether or not more will be joining.
