Fighting game fans have a new reason to celebrate as Arc System Works confirmed the upcoming release of the Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers anime.
This huge leap is a significant milestone for the franchise, as game fans and newcomers alike will be able to find a new way to experience the iconic Guilty Gear universe.
Arc System Works Confirms Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers Anime
It’s a good day for fighting game fans as Arc System Works finally announced a Guilty Gear Strive anime adaptation titled Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers.
Along with the announcement, the anime’s main staff has also been revealed.
Shigeru Morikawa (Loveless, Giant Killing), also known as Yuu Kou, will direct the anime at SANZIGEN studio, while Norimitsu Kaiho (Astra Lost in Space, School-Live!, Guilty Crown: Lost Christmas) will be in charge of the script.
Seiji Mizushima (Hiragana Danshi, Shaman King, Un-Go) is credited as an associate producer.
In August 2022, SANZIGEN Studios also provided the animation for Guilty Gear Strive’s first-anniversary video, highlighting the game’s anime-influenced aesthetics.
Arc System Works released the Guilty Gear Strive fighting game back in 2021 with original character designs by Daisuke Ishiwatari, and it has since carved a niche for itself in the competitive gaming world.
Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers Anime Release Date Predictions
So far, Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers has no set release date, so fans will have to wait for additional news and updates about the anime's development.
It usually takes a year or two for an anime to be released after it is announced. This means Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers could arrive in 2025, most likely around the spring or summer season.
If there are no delays in production, perhaps Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers may receive an earlier release date.
Arc System Works will announce more details at the upcoming Anime Expo in July, which will likely consist of cast information and hopefully a release date for the anime.
What Could Guilty Gear Strive’s Story Be About?
Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers' story is still under wraps, but it is expected that it will bring the rich lore of the game to life.
It’s possible that it would focus on Sol Badguy, who joined the Sacred Order of Holy Knights to fight biological weapons called gears.
He would try to get revenge on Asuka R. Kreutz, a notorious criminal who turned him into a gear.
