Keep on rockin’, Europe: Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 is confirmed for European release on May 26th

This is region parity like we rarely ever get to see: European publisher of several Arc System Works confirmed that the latest entry in the Guilty Gear series, Xrd REV 2, is simultaneously releasing on consoles in Europe and North America. PQube has announced May 26th as a release date.

A new European Guilty Gear website has popped up, detailing new features in REV 2–such as added stages, Baiken and Answer, rebalancing of the cast, more story content, and so on. The site points to Amazon to preorder Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, though the copies seem “out of stock” at press time. European players also have an option to purchase a Limited Edition of REV 2.

Expect to see REV 2 in stores on May 26th in both North American and Europe, while Japan gets the game on May 25th. There is also a yet unannounced REV 2 demo coming–most likely as a pre-order bonus.

BornFree talks to GamerBee about Necalli, Cammy, and Street Fighter V’s second season

When you think of Taiwan and Street Fighter, there’s usually just one name that comes to mind, ZOWIE’s Bruce “GamerBee” Hsiang. GamerBee was at the recently-concluded NCR 2017, and Mark “BornFree” Sheridan took the time to talk to the Taiwanese pro.

In the interview below, GamerBee discusses his character choices: why he picked Necalli in the first place, as well as having Cammy as a secondary character. In addition to this, they also talks a lot about the game’s balance, including GamerBee’s thoughts on character tiers, as well as the upcoming balance changes.

Of course, they also talk about a myriad of other things, including his thoughts on tournament formats and if he prefers the best of 5 format over best of 3, the recent ELEAGUE, and a whole lot more.
