Ark System works the makers of fantastic hand drawn 2d fighting games Blazblu and more recently Persona 4: Arena have announced that their next entry the Guilty Gear series is well into devlopment. I think I speak for most fans when I say, it’s about bloody time.
Anyway what may have some of you fainting in the streets is news that the latest entry in the series is being made using the Unreal 3 engine. After initially hearing this i was a little stunned. Have they gone mental? I thought, you’re a studio that has made some of the most beautiful 2d games ever and you’ve decided to make the sequel to your most beloved series in 3D.
Luckily to back up this insane decision they have also released a trailer of the game in action. Words can’t quite describe how gorgeous it is. Stylisitcally it’s the game Street Fighter IV should have been. Gameplaywise, time will tell but if its anything like the rest of their games its going to be one hell of a fighting game.
So here it is, the first trailer for Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN.
