Anarchy Reigns is Finally Making Its Way to Europe & America in the New Year

Released as Max Anarchy in Japan, the game came out in July of this year and Platinum Games fans have been clamouring for a Western release date. SEGA have duly obliged. Anarchy Reigns is coming to North America on January 8th and Europe on January 11th for PS3 and Xbox 360.

The balls-to-the-wall action features some characters from Platinum’s back catalogue, along with some new faces to get accustomed to. There is also a vast multiplayer mode where 16 players can compete in various modes; all-for-one Battle Royale, Survival mode – which sounds like Horde Mode, and something called Deathball Mode. You know that Deathball is your favourite already, right?

Jurgen Post, COO of SEGA Europe Ltd said, “SEGA is hugely proud of the work Platinum Games has put in to creating a videogame with such a unique and engaging vision. Gamers will soon be able to experience the full adrenaline rush that comes from competing in explosive multiplayer matches of Anarchy Reigns.”

Executive Director/Producer at Platinum Atsushi Inaba added, “Focusing on online play with Anarchy Reigns presented a new challenge for us here at Platinum Games. Very few games fall under its genre of a melee-based online multiplayer brawler, so I think we’ve been able to supply a new kind of excitement that you can’t find anywhere else. While some time has passed since its Japan release, I look forward to having gamers in North America and Europe enjoy the Anarchy!”

Not only is it out soon, but it’s competitively priced! You should be seeing Anarchy Reigns on store shelves for the very tempting price of £19.99/€24.99/$29.99. January will be here before you know it.
