Arc System Works has become the go-to developer for anime fighting titles, ranging from Blazblue to recent title Granblue Fantasy Versus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Their magnum opus is arguably the Guilty Gear franchise, which has become known for its steep difficulty, complex mechanics and stunning visuals.<\/p>\n

The upcoming sequel Guilty Gear Strive has the potential to be the franchise’s biggest crossover moment. So if you’re considering trying out the fighter, here’s what you need to know about Guilty Gear’s latest instalment.<\/p>\n

What is Guilty Gear Strive?<\/h2>\n

Guilty Gear Strive is the seventh mainline entry in the Guilty Gear franchise, following Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator released in 2015 which received an updated sequel in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2. <\/p>\n

Strive however marks a completely new entry in the Guilty Gear series, confirmed by game creator Daisuke Ishiwatari when it was announced at EVO 2019. <\/p>\n

The first Guilty Gear title was released in 1998 for the original PlayStation, and has since spawned manga adaptations, novels and drama CDs. <\/p>\n

Is there a beta for Guilty Gear Strive?<\/h2>\n

A closed beta for Guilty Gear Strive<\/a> will take place on PlayStation 4 between 16-19th April. If you were hoping to take part, unfortunately sign-ups closed on 6th April with codes already sent out. <\/p>\n

The beta will feature seven characters in total, including Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, May, Axl Low, Faust, Chip Zanuff and Potemkin. You’ll be able to play in online matches and against enemy AI. <\/p>\n

It’s unclear if Arc System Works is planning an open beta in the future, although with the game set to be released later this year, there’s plenty of time for one to be announced. <\/p>\n
