After all the excitement new characters bring to the table, Famitsu is bringing things down a notch with a recent report on Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-‘s lobbies. These online stomping grounds will be rendered in 3D with arcade cabinets representing open matches, much in the same way Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’s lobbies functioned.
While players are waiting for open spots, they will be able to distract themselves by fishing in the lobby pond. Far from a mere distraction, however, this pursuit will earn customization parts and emotions for their online avatars as well as alternate colors to use during battle.
In addition, -REVELATOR- is also said to feature a revamped training mode for beginners that utilizes an on-screen arcade stick to visualize inputs, and a two-part story that pairs the original arcade chapters with a brand new narrative on consoles.
Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- launches for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on May 26 in Japan, June 7 in North America, and June 10 in Europe. Pre-ordering will allow access exclusive demo before the official release, though exact details are still forthcoming.
