Guilty Gear XRD -REVELATOR- Fighting Game Unveiled

Japanese game developer Arc System Works announced Guilty Gear XRD -REVELATOR-, a new installment in its Guilty Gear 2D fighting game franchise, on Wednesday. The game is a sequel to the earlier Guilty Gear XRD -SIGN- game.

Arc System Works will hold a location test for the game at the Sega Akihabara Building 1 in Tokyo, Sega Nanba Avion in Osaka, and Neo Amusement Space a-Cho in Kyoto from June 5 to 7, and another test on June 19 to 21 at an as-yet undisclosed location.

The game will include adjustments to the moves and abilities of current playable characters. Arc System Works also unveiled Johnny, a new playable character, as well as another playable character in silhouette. Johnny will be playable in the location tests in June.

Johnny first appeared as a story character in the first Guilty Gear game, and became a playable character in Guilty Gear X. He appeared as a story character in Guilty Gear XRD -SIGN-.

Guilty Gear XRD -REVELATOR- will also contain 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.
