Arc system works just announced that Guilty Gear Strive will be delayed until June 11, 2021. The game was originally scheduled to release on April 9, 2021 – that’s just 37 days away from today.
“We have made the difficult decision to move the release date of ‘Guilty Gear Strive’ (previously scheduled for April 9, 2021) to June 11, 2021,” Arc System Works said on Twitter, extending the waiting time for an additional 63 days.
It has been found that the reason for the delay is that Arc System Works can use the feedback received after the open beta test to provide the best game possible.
“Since we’ve received valuable feedback after the recent open beta testing, we want to take this opportunity to provide the best game possible,” continued Arc System Works. “We need extra time to update some aspects of the game, such as the online lobbies and server stability.”
In particular, the beta servers were unable to handle the traffic that came in during the scheduled beta time. This caused Arc System Works to extend the beta period so that players could properly participate in the open beta test.
“We think it is best to use the extra time to improve the quality of the game and provide a better experience for all our players,” said Arc System Works. “Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
