Rocket Panda Games has announced some new DLC for Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate that will feature Japanese pop-culture personality Kaho Shibuya.
According to the team, Shibuya will be a playable character, with the DLC coming to both PC and consoles. Rocket Panda Games says: “A daughter of a humble baker by day and a magical girl by destiny, Kaho’s bread-fueled justice comes to life with a freshly-baked moveset that’s as charming as it is chaotic. Whether flinging baguette blasts or unleashing croissant combos, she’s ready to roll… and rise.”

Kaho Shibuya herself said: “My favorite game genre has always been 2D side-scrolling Beat ’em Ups, so to be in such a game as a menacingly strong DLC character is a dream come true. This playable Kaho is an amalgamation of a magical girl and a baker, prismatic and sweet.
Regarding the former, of course it’s every girl’s fantasy, especially when you grew up watching anime like Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, and Madoka Magica. For the latter, I wanted a unique weapon to stand out, and thought of a baguette as a weapon first, inspired from some of my favorite games. This character is from all my nerdy thoughts, and I hope you enjoy beating up enemies with it.”
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Los Angeles, California the DLC package includes one new playable character, Kaho Shibuya, a magical girl with the powers of cuteness and bread, four new enemy mob characters to battle through on the new stage set in a fictional “LA”, dressed up for Anime Expo season. The DLC also includes In-stage Collaboration Camoes with LA local food truck, Okamoto Kitchen and 3D latte art shop from Japan, Latte Pocket.
To commemorate the launch, Japanese girl band, The Phantom Breakers will release an original track titled “WISH” feat. Kaho Shibuya, featuring vocals by Kaho herself. The single will be released in conjunction with the DLC release on all major streaming platforms.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate is out now for PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
