Bandai Namco on Monday announced that strategy RPG mashup game Project X Zone 2, a sequel to the 2013 original, will launch this fall in the west exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.

The game brings together characters from the rosters of three Japanese gaming giants: Bandai Namco, Capcom, and Sega. Characters from the franchises listed below make up some of the game's roster; others will be announced later. Watch the trailer above to see all characters confirmed so far.
