Ontwikkelingsproblemen door de hele COVID-19 pandemie slaan weer toe, dit keer bij Arc System Works Guilty Gear. De vecht game zou eigenlijk in 2020 uitkomen, maar pakt nu een vertraging tot begin 2021. Een bericht van producer Takeshi Yamanaka legt het een en ander uit.

“While our company’s staff and our business partners are putting in a sincere effort in dealing with the changes due to the spread of COVID-19, every aspect of our development schedule has faced delays. In addition, we have decided to set up a schedule to further improve the quality of the game responding to everyone’s help and feedback from the recent closed beta test,” liet hij wten.

“We apologize sincerely to everyone who has been anticipating the release with keen excitement. Ourselves, we are dedicated to bringing you a new Guilty Gear game that will satisfy all of our fans. Please be assured that we will make good use of that extra time to do this.”

Guilty Gear Strive is de laatste titel in een rij vertragingen, Minecraft Dungeons, Wasteland 3, Hellpoint, Amazon’s New World, Marvel’s Iron Man VR en The Last of Us Part 2 .
