Today Square Enix and Koei Tecmo announced the new character that will join the Dissidia Final Fantasy cast, and this time around it's a villain, or more precisely, a villainess.

Ultimecia from Final Fantasy VIII will be playable in the arcade version of the game after an upcoming update, that will be uploaded into the machines later this month.

Of course, it's very likely that she'll appear in the PS4 version, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, even if, for the moment, we don't know whether it'll be as an initial cast member or as a DLC character.

The latest confirmed character before Ultimecia was Jecht from Final Fantasy X, who will be included in the cast on PS4 at launch.
