At the end of the Arc System Works Fighting Game Award 2016, the company made the following announcement: Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 is coming for the PlayStation 3, 4, and Steam.

A promotional trailer shows off two characters that will be added to the cast: “Business Ninja” Answer, who appeared in Story Mode and “Lone Samurai” Baiken, who also made an appearance in the narrative, as well as in the past Guilty Gear games. There will be additional Story Mode content, online play changes, and possible rebalancing for the cast.

On January 20th until the 22nd, location tests for REV 2 will begin.

Can I just say, Baiken, you’ve kept us waiting, huh? Stay tuned to SRK for more coverage regarding this development.
