As we near the official release of Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, we’re slowly starting to see some Answers to many pending questions: when are we going to get a demo, what about the PC version, and so on. There’s a little bit of great news to share on both counts.
First, Arc System Works released a new overview video. The description mentions the Steam version of the game, and states June 1st as the release date, just a few days after console (May 25th for Japan, May 26th in other parts of the world). It’s really good news for those who prefer the PC version (and many do, particularly for the better netplay).
Launching on: June 1st, 2017.

Shini also confirmed in another tweet that there won’t be a demo for the PC version. Demo news may be coming soon, however (very soon, look closely…):

With that out of the way, enjoy the overview video below, which is a great way to introduce newcomers to the world of Guilty Gear (though only in Japanese, currently). The video introduces Baiken and Answer, and extensively goes over the expanded and improved online lobby features.
