In the midst of the excitement surrounding the announcement of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, some potentially bad news has emerged for Guilty Gear fans. According to Insider Gaming, Arc System Works has reportedly canceled a new project in the series, which had not been officially announced.

The report comes from sources close to the studio who have spoken on the condition of anonymity. According to them, the cancellation occurred in the last two weeks, although no specific details about the reasons are known. Insider Gaming has attempted to contact Arc System Works, but so far, there is no official response or denial.

The new Guilty Gear was allegedly in its early stages

The game in question was not part of any previous announcement, so it appears that it was a title still in the early stages of development. It has also not been confirmed whether this decision is related to the release of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the studio’s new fighting game inspired by the Marvel universe, which aims to become one of its most ambitious projects.

The Guilty Gear series, which has gained even more notoriety in recent years thanks to Guilty Gear: Strive, could be taking an indefinite break if this information is confirmed. For now, it’s just an unconfirmed rumor, although it comes from a source with a good track record in previous leaks.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for any statement from Arc System Works or if this potential new Guilty Gear gets a second chance in the future.
