Anarchy Reigns releasing in January

SEGA has finally announced a western release date for Anarchy Reigns. The fighting extravaganza game will be out on January 8th (11th in Europe) for $29.99. You'll find inside three videos of the deadly Rin sisters.

ANARCHY REIGNS™ IN THE NEW YEAR!
PlatinumGames’ Insane Fighting Extravaganza due January 2013

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON— October 19, 2012 —SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. are pleased to announce their groundbreaking multiplayer brawler Anarchy Reigns will launch on January 8th 2013 in the US and January 11th 2013 in Europe, for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system.

Developed by the talented team from the critically-acclaimed studio, PlatinumGames, Anarchy Reigns delivers over-the-top close combat, set in a massively open and fantastical world in a bleak, mutant-filled future. Watch iconic characters from the PlatinumGames stable duking it out in a series of vibrant arenas that could only have been thought up by Japan’s critically acclaimed studio. Up to 16 players can take part in multiplayer matches over a variety of game modes; engage in all-out Battle Royale destruction, co-operate with your friends and vanquish hordes of monsters in Survival mode or test your sportsmanship over a few rounds of Deathball! With an SRP of £19.99/€29.99/$29.99, Anarchy Reigns is a high quality game, selling at a fantastic price.

“SEGA are hugely proud of the work PlatinumGames has put in to creating a video game with such a unique and engaging vision” commented Jurgen Post, COO of SEGA Europe Ltd. “Gamers will soon be able to experience the full adrenaline rush that comes from competing in the explosive multiplayer matches of Anarchy Reigns.”

“Focusing on online play with Anarchy Reigns presented a new challenge for us here at PlatinumGames,” added Atsushi Inaba, Executive Director/Producer at Platinum Games. “Very few games fall under its genre of a melee-based online multiplayer brawler, so I think we’ve been able to supply a new kind of excitement that you can’t find anywhere else. While some time has passed since its Japan release, I look forward to having gamers in North American and Europe enjoy the Anarchy!”

It's an action game made by the only people that still make worthwhile action games.

For $30 bucks.

Anyone skipping this is an idiot, plain and simple.

Anarchy reigns is nowhere near as good as Bayo/Vanquish tho. I will still support Platinum, but wouldn't call someone idiot if skip this game...

This game is good. Loads of fun and plenty of modes at that keep it interesting. I got a couple of more trophies left for to get.

Idiot to skip this? lol right. I am skipping this piece of shit game, I played the demo its nothing but a online focused brawler that isnt fun for such a genre IMO and I didnt even finish the demo since it was garbage.

I rather wait for MG Rising and God of war Ascension for my fix.

Any fool that shall disagree will play games on a Virtual boy the rest of his life.

Yeah it does not look as good as Platinum's other titles although it still has the kitschy style and humour.

I doubt I will bother with this either, maybe a rent will be worthwhile.

I don't mind being labeled by the likes of you. I'd probably care a bit more if you tried harder, though!
