It’s not uncommon for Arc System Works games to take the standard lobby mode and put their own spin on it, and the upcoming Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- is no exception. While waiting on matches, players will take control of an (I guess chibi is the word?) avatar and gambol through an arcade with a fishin’ hole in the center. What a place.
The developers have made updates to other modes as well, including a virtual stick feature to assist in memorizing inputs during the learning process. By outputting a player’s directional inputs visually and then highlighting the correct motions, this tool should help new players get into the swing of things, or perhaps even give players accustomed to something like Street Fighter IV’s input shortcuts a chance to clean up their messy muscle memory.
This information was accompanied by details on early downloadable content, which includes an additional color pack containing five recolors for each character and system voice options for Slayer, Jam, and other newcomrers. Players can expect this downloadable content the same day -REVELATOR- launches in Japan, so it’s a safe bet to assume it’ll be day one for other regions as well.
To take a look at the scenic new lobby mode, as well as some of the other features, check out the gallery below.
Can I also note how cute Lobby Millia’s little hat is? It’s a cute little hat. Anyway, if you’re looking to pick up a copy of Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-, it’s set to launch for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on May 26 in Japan, June 7 in North America, and June 10 in Europe.
