Guilty Gear: Strive will receive an arcade release

[Neoxon]

Arc System Works will release an arcade version of Guilty Gear: Strive in addition to the previously announced PlayStation 4 version, the company announced.

The arcade version will be distributed via ALL.Net P-ras Multi Version 3, an arcade game content distribution service by Sega Interactive. A demo will be playable at Japan Amusement Expo 2020, which runs from February 7 to 8 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

No word on if the arcade version will release ahead of the console version.

Comforting! Even if it is after the PS4 release.

Safe to assume it's PS4 exclusive at this point?

I think it'll be a PS5 title as well, similar to how Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign launched simultaneously on PS4 and PS3, based on director Akira Katano's comment here:

—There's going to be a playable demo at ARC Revo America 2019. Can you tell us what will be there?

Katano: "It won't have all the features, but you can get an overall feel of the game. Please look forward to future news regarding which characters you will be able to use. Also, while we have announced that it will be released for PlayStation 4, it is not a PlayStation 4-exclusive title. For more information such as other hardware, please look forward to further news in the future."

Also worth noting that it's launching in late 2020, which lines up with PlayStation 5's release.

And of course I imagine there will be an eventual PC release.

All I want to know is what happens in a Faust mirror match when one uses that afro move. If that's not the first thing people try and film, it best be the second.

Hmm, it would make sense as a launch title.

Its interesting how Guilty Gear is a Sega arcade hardware exclusive, meanwhile Blazblue, including Blazblue Cross Tag Battle is a Taito arcade hardware exclusive.

One thing I remember hearing is that a stipulation behind Arc buying the GG rights back from Sega was the "condition" that any arcade releases in the series would be exclusive to Sega's hardware.

Dunno how true it is, but I always thought it made sense.

That means cross-platform and perfect rollback is confirmed.

And it also makes sense to create BB so they could circumvent this.

Damn I can't wait to get my hands on this. Hopefully there's a collectors/premium version that comes with the soundtrack.
