For those of you who don’t know, Anarchy Reigns is the much-delayed multiplayer arena brawler from SEGA and Platinum Games that features a cast of off-the-wall combatants besting the snot (and several other bodily fluids) out of each other in amusingly-brutal ways.
The characters include Jack Cayman from Wii-exclusive MadWorld, and Bayonetta from, well, Bayonetta (both developed by Platinum Games) in an irreverent, madcap, ultraviolent future.
Despite seeing the light of day in Japan ages ago, Anarchy Reigns has been put back over here time and again since its original January release date. Well it’s finally been dated (again), and SEGA have released this gleefully violent trailer showcasing two new modes that will be available as DLC, Mad Survival and Dogfight. Both have fairly self-explanatory titles, but the most intriguing mode is Dog Fight, which sees players take to the skies in massive choppers and try to blow each other out of the air. Or, failing that, drag each other out of the air.
Check out the trailer below.
Anarchy Reigns will be released in the UK and Europe on January 11 2013: and in North America on January 8, on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
