New Guilty Gear installment canceled. What happens to the franchise now? — insider

The Guilty Gear series has been experiencing a renaissance in recent years. But despite ARC System Works’ plans to expand the franchise and attract new audiences, fans will have to wait longer for the next installment.

In 2021, Guilty Gear Strive became a hit, gaining massive popularity. The game sold over 3 million copies, becoming the best-selling release in the history of the series, which began in 1998. An animated project subtitled Dual Rulers also appeared. But it seems that for now, the anime is the only new addition.

According to Insider Gaming editor Mike Straw, the developers recently canceled work on a new installment. The project was in production, but there was no official announcement. The decision was made over the past few weeks.

The source claims that the game has not been scrapped permanently, but rather sent back to the planning stage. However, it will take a long time before release — the studio is busy developing Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. Meanwhile, there have been no official comments from ARC System Works yet — all information is based on anonymous sources.
