Majesco signs Guilty Gear X2 #Reload

Majesco today announced that it will publish the Xbox version of Arc System Works' Guilty Gear X2 #Reload in North America this summer. The 2D fighting game, which features a roster of more than 20 "Gear" characters enhanced with animal DNA, will boast Xbox Live support for head-to-head online play and real-time global rankings.

"Our ability to identify select properties, with an established audience, and [then] publish them at an attractive price point is an advantage we hope to exploit. And Guilty Gear X2 #Reload certainly meets those criteria," said Ken Gold, vice president of marketing for Majesco Sales. "With hardcore 2D fighting enhanced by compelling multiplayer support via Xbox Live, we are excited to add Guilty Gear X2 #Reload to our product portfolio."

Guilty Gear X2 #Reload will feature a total of nine different gameplay modes, including arcade, versus, survival, story, mission, training, and medal of millionaire. Each of the 20-plus playable fighters in the game will boast his or her own signature instant-kill moves, as well as numerous combos, psych bursts, and overdrive attacks.

Guilty Gear X2 #Reload is expected to carry a suggested retail price of $19.95 when it arrives in stores this summer. We'll bring you more information on the game as soon as it becomes available.
