Bad News for Guilty Gear Fans
A sad development has occurred regarding the Guilty Gear series, a favorite among fighting game enthusiasts. It has been revealed that a new Guilty Gear game developed by ARC System Works has been canceled. This project, which has not yet been officially announced, was quietly discontinued in recent weeks, according to sources.
Plans Change for Guilty Gear
The Guilty Gear series, which first entered the gaming world in 1998, has gained a large fan base with seven main games and six spin-offs. The latest, Guilty Gear Strive, released in 2021, was also scheduled to be released on the Nintendo Switch platform in early 2025. However, while a new installment in the series was expected, developer studio ARC System Works has decided to cancel the project, according to unnamed sources.
No official statement has been released regarding the reason for the cancellation. At the time of writing, Insider Gaming’s efforts to reach the studio regarding the matter had not yet been resolved. One insider stated that the project “isn’t as finished as it was started,” and that the process needed to be completely rethought. This statement is being interpreted as an indication that ARC System Works may continue the series with a different project in the future.
While this development is disappointing for Guilty Gear fans, given the series’ history and success, the possibility of a new game in the future remains strong. However, for now, it’s rumored that the studio is reevaluating its priorities and the series may be quiet for a while.
