Today Under Night In-Birth developers French Bread announced that Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] (Known colloquially in the FGC as UNICLR), the latest iteration in the Under Night series, will be getting a PC release on 3/27. If you own the previous iteration, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st], it will automatically upgrade to Uniclr when the patch comes out. The upgrade includes new attacks and balance changes for each character, along with a reset of the rank leaderboards. However it does not come with the first new DLC character Londrakia who must be purchased separately, but will be available at launch. New character color packs will also be available and there are two separate DLC bundles, one for those that already own Unist, and one for player who haven't purchased it yet. No prices have been announced yet, but Londrakia is currently $8.99 on the PSN Store. Under Night In-Birth EXE:Late[st] is currently $40 on steam.
The UNIST gained some recognition last year when a dedicated competitive community brought up its tournament numbers enough that it earned a spot on the coveted Evolution Championship Series's (Evo) main stage, which only has 9 slots each year. Over a 1,000 players participated in the tournament and UNICLR was announced to be a mainstage game in 2020 before it was even released.
I'm excited to get my hands on this latest iteration of the series. It's the first fighting game I really came to enjoy on PC after trying SF and BlazBlue Central Fiction. Learning core mechanics and watching a health amount of Core-A-Gaming gave me a new found respect for the genre and it's high level players (of which I am absolutly not a member of). I was just staring to learn Carmine in ST but I feel like I can wait on that now. The PC player base for ST went down quite a bit when CLR came out on PS4 last month but many players will be returning due to the reduced input lag PC affords.
Any UNIST Players here?
