Ketsu Battler is dropping its "Series 2" major update July 30 on Switch, packing in DLC character Kiden the same day as the CoroCoro Comic August issue spills the full deets. KAYAC's butt-shaking fighter keeps the Joy-Con-to-pants chaos alive with what looks like a new era of aggressive matchups and fresh content.

The official @KetsuBattler account dropped the trailer and hype post today, racking up hundreds of likes and reposts in hours while fans on X are already memeing the "new century begins" tagline and guessing how Kiden fits into the ongoing manga serialization. Previous free DLC drops like Beelzebub from Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising show the devs aren't afraid of weird crossovers to keep the player base shaking.

CoroCoro Comic tie-in has the game sitting at #3 in the "Manga We Want To See Animated" rankings, so this update lands right when the IP is peaking in Japanese kids' media circles. More details hit July 15 — until then, strap in (or strap on) for the next round of pure chaotic fun.
