Gukes Gear Strive producer Takeshi Yamanaka announces that the game's launch is delayed until early 2021 due to the coronavirus.
The launch of Guilty Gear Strive was scheduled for the end of this year 2020 but due to the coronavirus crisis that we are experiencing globally, its managers at Arc System Works have been forced to delay it until the beginning of 2021. Specifically, it has been Takeshi Yamanaka, producer of the game, who has offered a statement via Twitter to clarify the situation and explain the way the company is going to deal with this situation that has already caused multiple delays in video game launches, such as that of The Last of Us Part II to cite an example.
A new delay adds to the long list of those affected by COVID-19
"While our company members and business partners are offering a sincere effort to cope with the changes that are taking place due to the spread of COVID-19, all aspects of our development schedule are being delayed. Therefore, we have decided to change these dates to improve the quality of our game and respond to the feedback that you have all sent us as a result of the closed beta of the game, "says Takeshi Yamanaka through the official Arc System Works Twitter account. .

We recall that in the advance of the title that we brought you in FreeGameTips we highlight that we found several questionable design decisions such as a poorly planned lobby, a poorly calibrated combo damage and other aspects in which we believe that the company could polish much better. For this reason, the extra development time that has been taken as a result of the changes that have been forced to take by the coronavirus will do well to polish all these aspects that the players who tried the closed beta had the good to comment. . With the launch set in early 2021, we're looking forward to new news from the game and a concrete date for the action-fighting title to land on PS4.
