SEGA and PlatinumGames’ Anarchy Reigns has been delayed many times since it’s release, with the most recent date of 5th July 2012 very recently acknowledged as no longer applicable. However, no hint of a new date had previously been offered, with the incredibly vague ‘TBC’ stamped on the videogames’ official documentation. That has vagueness has ended today.
Gary Green said: If you were one of those lucky gamers who pre-ordered Anarchy Reigns online back in 2012, then you were probably very pleased to see your copy arrive up to two weeks early, allowing you smile smugly at those preferring to pick up the game in-store on launch day, not that many shops were even bothering to stock it. If the early release wasn’t enough to inspire you to pick up Anarchy Reigns, then how about the Limited Edition retailing at under 20GBP? Tempted yet?
It all sounds too good to be true. You might be wondering how the game could ship so early before release. Well, that’s largely down to the fact that Anarchy Reigns was ready months earlier. The Japanese version, titled ‘Max Anarchy’, featured a fully English language option and was released back in autumn 2012. Surely though that’s not a big enough reason to half the price of a new-release game, right? There must be more darkening Anarchy Reigns’ potential to justify such an act.
A recent wave of modern brawlers have exploded onto the scene, and it feels like they owe Anarchy Reigns some gratitude.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "With Astral Chain coming out right around the corner for the Nintendo Switch, I couldn’t help but think about all the amazing games PlatinumGames has pumped out over the years. Some revered greatly, others panned by critics, but to me insane infatuation. These are my five favorite games from my favorite developer"
Couldn't really see Sega scrapping a game that had already been fully localized, but I'm still really glad to hear that it's coming. The demo is fantastic and solidified my purchase.
looks awful
some how i think itll be delayed again
All these great looking games are being delayed to 2013. This year isn't looking nearly as good as it did before. My wallet is okay with this.
Forget that. I'm hearing the Japanese verson will have english. If that's the case I will import the game on July 5th
