It’s never been a better time to be a 2.5D brawler in the post apocalypse!

REV 2 is the return of the gold standard of 2D fighting games - the gorgeous and technically sublime Guilty Gear Xrd. New characters join the fray in REV 2, with the inclusion of Baiken, a long-time fan favourite, and Answer, playable for the first time in Guilty Gear. It will also feature new moves, rebalanced cast, new stages and revamped online functionality.

Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 is the perfect fighting game for genre newcomers. Featuring the most comprehensive tutorial in any fighting game to date, in addition to the critically acclaimed Stylish Type control system, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 sets a new standard for fighting game accessibility.

Rollback Netcode will bring Steam players a variety of enhancements to Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2’s online play. This will reduce delay in online matches to allow players to enjoy fighting fellow players across distant regions.

In commemoration of the public test, Arc System Works is holding a special Steam sale offering massive discounts for all self-published titles retrofitted with rollback netcode. The Arc System Works Rollback Retrofit Sale takes place from Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. PT through Oct 23 at 9:55 a.m. PT.

Those who already own any of the packages can "complete the set" by purchasing the bundle, and only pay for the remaining packages, with the 10 percent bundle discount applied. However, this does not apply to customers who do not own the respective Deluxe or Special editions.

Arc System Works is also planning toward future Rollback Netcode implementation in Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-.
