25TH FIGHTER · BASED ON DANTE
25 — THE ROSTER GROWS

Meet Cloud Strife.

Cloud is selectable as a 25th fighter in our test build, with his own name, character-select artwork and versus card.

BUILT ON DANTE

Familiar moves. New look.

Cloud is his own character, with a separate roster slot, currently based on Dante’s moveset and animations. A dedicated Cloud moveset is planned for the future.

WORK IN PROGRESS

Watch him take shape.

Cloud now has his own voice lines and a new look. Sound effects and details continue to be refined, with his own moveset planned for the future. This development build is separate from the public beta downloads.
