Almost exactly a year ago,
Arc System Works revealed that they were working on bringing the Guilty Gear series to the Nintendo Switch in the form of a
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R port of the 2007 title of the same name.
Arc System Works didn't update fans on the state of this
Guilty Gear port for the Nintendo Switch for a long time, leading some to believe that they were not going to be releasing the game, with the exception that the
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R had been delayed; that is until January of this year, when the developer revealed that they were working on a
20th anniversary collection for the Guilty Gear series.
Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Package would not only be including
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R, but it would also be including the original 1998
Guilty Gear, making it more of a treat for fans of the long-running anime fighting series.
The latest trailer that Arc System Works has released for
Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Package reveals that the game will be officially releasing in just a month from today, on the
16th of May, for the Nintendo Switch, and at a later yet-to-be-determined date for the PlayStation 4.
What's somewhat upsetting is the fact that
Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Package will not be getting a physical release in North America. The good news is that the Nintendo Switch isn't region-locked, so fans of the series can still order their copy from Japanese retailers and play the game on their North American/European console.
Take a look:
The classic original of the entire franchise "GUILTY GEAR" first released in 1998, together with "GUILTY GEAR XX ACCENT CORE PLUS R" which made its first debut in arcades in 2012, are now both available under 1 single package.
Guilty Gear 20th Anniversary Pack will be available for the Nintendo Switch on the 16th of May.
