Anarchy Reigns on consoles this week

Sega and PlatinumGames’ insane brawler will be scrapping on consoles everywhere by Friday.

Sporting 16 player fights and a bunch of characters both new and familiar on its roster, the release of Anarchy Reigns is has been a long time coming. One of the first big releases of 2013 does in fact offer both single and multiplayer experiences, but it’s that multi that’s been getting all the attention. maybe with good reason.

“We are excited to see the game reaching the Western audience,” said Atsushi Inaba, Executive Director/Producer at PlatinumGames. “Anarchy Reigns is an ambitious project for PlatinumGames, as we wanted to challenge ourselves by creating a new genre, Multiplayer Brawling. You could play the game as a one-on-one fighter, but Anarchy Reigns truly comes alive when multiplayer characters are locked in chaotic battles. We look forward to global anarchy online once everyone gets a hold of the game.”

And if you want to get a hold of one for yourself, Anarchy Reigns is available now for the Xbox 360 and PS3 at the low, low discount price of $29.99 USD in the North american territory. Australia will have to wait for the 10th to get into it and Europe will be able to fight it out on Friday the 11th.
