Arc System Works announced that they would be releasing "Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator" for the PC. They are distributing the flashy fighting game through Steam and should be available on Dec. 14, 2016.
As reported by Gematsu, "Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator" for PC will retail for $49.99 together with a launch discount of 10 percent. Another product option named "A One Dawn Bundle" priced at $69.99, will include all available DLC content. Additionally, they would throw in the "Guilty Gear Sound Live 2014 Archives+" soundtrack. The bonus soundtrack holds 11 music tracks with three featuring vocals. The song "One Dawn," which is Dizzy's main theme is also reportedly included. The game's soundtrack a heavy metal vibe with a small hint of jazz on some tracks.
According to Steam, the minimum system requirements in order to run "Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator" are an Intel Core i5 (2.0Ghz) processor, 2GB of RAM, DirectX (version 9.0c), 12GB of free space, Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 or Radeon HD 7770 and a broadband internet connection.
The PC version of "Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator" unfortunately does not feature cross-platform play like Capcom's "Street Fighter V."
"Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator" is the follow up to Arc System Works' "Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign" released back in 2014. The game is developed using "Unreal Engine 3" and uses cel-shaded 3D models. It features 17 returning characters with 6 new characters joining the battle. The story mode continues where Xrd: Sign's tale left off, players are treated to a full cinematic movie experience. The story mode does not feature any player versus computer matches, which might surprise veteran fighting game players.
Beginners can go through the tutorial mode to learn combat techniques and match strategies. "Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator" also includes a stylish mode option for beginners, which allows them to execute flashy moves and combos with minimal input. The PC version sadly lacks the Lobby function found on the console versions.
