Bandai Namco, Sega and Capcom's big franchise crossover RPG is back, with Dante, Leon, Jin, Strider, Mega Man X and all kinds of other heroes returning.

Monolith Software has the honors of making a new entry in the massive, crossover RPG, Project X Zone. Two years ago, the first X Zone featured all kinds of Capcom, Sega and Bandai Namco heroes and villains coming together in grid-based, tactical RPG battles that had a combo-based fighting system. Like the Marvel Vs. Capcom series, much of Project X Zone 2's hype comes from who is included in its roster. This time around, things are going to be much grander, as Bandai Namco promises some miraculous encounters and ever-changing worlds

Here's a list of all the characters officially revealed so far for Project X Zone 2:

Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine from Resident Evil; Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima from Yakuza; Tales of Versperia's Yuri Lowell and Flynn Scifo; Kite and Haseo from .Hack; Vergil and Dante from Devil May Cry; Erica Fontaine and Ichiro Ogami from Sakura Wars; Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima from Tekken; X and Zero from Mega Man X; Akira Yuki and Kage Maru from Virtua Fighter; Strider Hiryu, Hotsuma from Shinobi and Natsu from Soul Calibur V,

We really hope that Ryu and Ken make a comeback. With Sega in the works, we're dying to see Sonic and Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue included. Project X Zone 2 will be making its Western debut for Nintendo 3DS this fall.
