The Guilty Gear franchise is a series of traditionally 2-D fighter games that first debuted in Japan in 1998 as a PlayStation exclusive. Set in an apocalyptic, mystical future of our world where “magic” is a limitless source of energy. When combined with living creatures or people, this magic turns them into “Gears” who then rebel against humanity and spark a war between humans and themselves.

Built on a 2-D engine, the Guilty Gear fighting games focus on well-defined characters, anime-worthy cinematic plots, and a whole lot of personality and style for every character. This holiday season will bring the first Guilty Gear game to feature fully 3-D character models to North America.

Aksys has not yet announced an exact date, only stating that the limited edition North American version of the game is now available for pre-order from major retailers Amazon and GameStop on their blog and hinting at a holiday 2014 release date. The features included with this limited edition are:

  • “The Backyard” – The outer box for the Limited Edition features a replica of “The Backyard” complete with gears and high-quality binding. Dare to open the book to uncover all the goodies!
  • Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Soundtrack – The Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- soundtrack is filled with the hard rocking tunes that the series is known for, arranged by Guilty Gear series creator, Daisuke Ishiwatari, himself!
  • Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Character Book – What limited edition is without its art book?
