Aksys
Games Announces that Guilty Gear 2 Overture is Out Now
The next evolution of the Guilty
Gear franchise battles its way to retail today!
Aksys Games announces the arrival of
Guilty Gear 2: Overture today exclusively on the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360
exclusive takes the frantic one-on-one fighting game series and combines it with
the fierce action of an RTS game! Soon, all fans of the franchise will finally
see the continuation of the Guilty Gear saga unfold!
"The mix of action and strategy here
offers an experience that can’t be found in either genre by itself. Victory
isn’t ensured with technical skill or tactical prowess alone," said Michael
Manzanares, Project Lead, Aksys Games. "The Guilty Gear team has been working
countless hours on this title and we’re proud with the end result. I hope fans
of the series enjoy it as much as I have these past few months."
Guilty Gear 2: Overture Prologue
In the far future, humanity
succeeded in developing an endless energy called the divine power. But although
they were able to obtain wisdom, mankind could not cast aside their foolishness.
Tension among the major powers led to the creation of biological weapons that
were based on that power-Gears.
Justice, the only Gear able to
command the legions of biological weapons, went berserk and declared war on all
of humanity. That was the beginning of the worst war in history-The Crusades.
In response, mankind formed an order
of elite knights, and with their participation, Justice was defeated. With her
fall, all Gears ceased to function and entered a dormant state. The long-lasted
Crusades came to an end, and it seemed like mankind restored peace.
However, true history has yet to
reveal itself…
