GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- " to be released on PS4, PS5, and Steam on June 11, 2021 (Friday), with an arcade version on "ALL.Net P-ras MULTI version 3" to be launched simultaneously.
The two open beta tests were a great success. For those who are playing GUILTY GEAR for the first time with this title, we have created a " Teach Me! Mei-chan " will be distributed a total of six times.
In addition, an introduction trailer for the "Digital Soundtrack" included in the Ultimate Edition for PS4 and PS5, which will be released on June 8 (Tuesday), three days earlier than the standard edition, has been released, and it seems like we are getting closer to the game's release! It seems like we are getting closer and closer to the release of the game!
However, just one week before the release and arcade launch, it was decided to postpone the arcade version's launch date.
Postponement due to insufficient verification
The arcade version of "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-" was scheduled to launch on June 11, 2021 (Friday), the same day as the home version on "ALL.Net P-ras MULTI version 3," but the decision to postpone the launch date was announced.
The reason for the postponement is that the company has determined that testing for inter-store communication battles is insufficient due to the social situation caused by the spread of the new coronavirus infection. The reason for the postponement is to ensure that the product is released with the highest possible quality.
I can sense Arc System Works' belief in conducting thorough testing and aiming for a service that satisfies users!
The official launch date will be announced shortly, so let's wait for further news!
Please check the official website of "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-" for the announcement.
Announcement of change in arcade version launch date
"GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-"公式サイト
Thank you for your continued patronage of our products.
We have decided to postpone the launch date of the arcade (ALL.Net P-ras MULTI version 3) version of GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-, which we had announced would be released on June 11, 2021, at the same time as the home version (PS4, PS5, Steam).
Due to the recent spread of the coronavirus, the declaration of a state of emergency in major cities, and the extension of priority measures to prevent the spread of the virus, we have not been able to conduct sufficient testing (location testing) of the game in actual stores, and we are lacking in comprehensive verification, especially for inter-store communication matches. We have decided to postpone the launch in order to conduct sufficient testing and provide products and services with the highest possible quality.
We plan to conduct location tests at an appropriate time in the future, while closely monitoring the number of coronavirus cases and the status of emergency declarations and priority measures to prevent the spread of the virus in each city. We will announce the official launch date as soon as it is determined.
We apologize to all users who have been looking forward to the test, and ask for your understanding in this matter.

If the arcade version of the game has been postponed, you may be worried about the home version, which has been delayed several times in the past.
However, it has been decided that the "Guilty Gear Strive" pre-launch broadcast "Story Showcase" will be broadcast from 23:15 on June 6, 2021 (Sunday), two days before the "Ultimate Edition" goes on sale!
Since the broadcast will take place at this time, it's safe to assume that the home version will go on sale right on schedule!
