In a now-deleted tweet posted to X/Twitter yesterday and archived on Reddit, a large banner over a conference foyer entrance advertises Guilty Gear Strive, with a Nintendo Switch brand and the textual content “Nintendo Switch Edition” and “Pre-order now” within the left nook with a QR code. Whereas Arc System Works has but to verify the veracity of this, it is arduous to think about a big banner like this going up outdoors of a actual announcement – with PAX West beginning Friday, we’re probably to see it shortly.
The banner doesn’t specify a launch date, but it surely’s doable the Switch model of the sport is being demoed at the occasion.
Guilty Gear Strive is a beloved combating neighborhood staple that first launched in 2021 for PlayStation and PC, and has since come to arcades and PC. The original Guilty Gear, launched in 1998, has been accessible on Switch since 2019, however Guilty Gear Xrd by no means made it to the console.
The largest query now simply appears to be how effectively Strive will run on the Switch, given the console’s questionable historical past with combating recreation ports and what number of different combating video games have skipped it altogether, however hopefully Arc System Works has discovered a means to do Guilty Gear Strive – a recreation we gave a 9/10 upon launch – correct justice.
