North American video game publisher Aksys Games announced on Wednesday that it will release the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions of Arc System Works' Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- fighting game in the West next spring. The game's Japanese PS4/PS3 release is set for the same release window in Japan.
The game will feature cross-platform multiplayer play between the PS4 and PS3 versions.
Arc System Works released Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- in arcades across Japan on August 25. It adds the characters Johnny, Jack O, and Jam Kuradoberi. In addition, Arc System Works held a character vote in October for which character from the series will appear next. The character Dizzy won the poll. The game also contains a new mode designed for beginners called "Stylish Mode." In this mode, players can execute basic combos, special, and Overdrive moves through repeated presses of a single button.
Arc System Works released the original Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- game in Japanese arcades in February 2014. The company then released the game for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles in Japan on December 4, and publisher Aksys Games released the game in North America on December 16. Arc System Works released the game in Europe on June 3.
