Anarchy Reigns January 8
Platinum Games' third-person brawler coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $30 January 8 in North America, January 11 in Europe.
Anarchy Reigns has finally been dated for a Western release. Publisher Sega announced today that the brawler is due in North America on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $30 on January 8, 2013. A release will follow in Europe for €29.99 on January 11.
Anarchy Reigns was developed by Platinum Games and released in Japan as Max Anarchy in July, 2012. GameSpot's review praised its gore-filled combat, but lamented its often-repetitive single-player missions and somewhat confusing story.
The game's Western release has been a long time coming. Anarchy Reigns was originally announced as a fall 2011 title, before being pushed to January 2012, and then again to July 3, and once more to later in the month. Its most recent delay came in June, when the game was pushed--unbeknownst to its developer--to 2013.
Anarchy Reigns is a third-person brawler set in a postapocalyptic war zone filled with tsunamis, black holes, and other hazards. The game features online multiplayer using existing characters from the studio's previous title MadWorld, as well as original characters.

My birthday is on the 9th.. guess what i am getting :D
I can't wait to try this HOORAY 3RD PERSON HAND TO HAND COMBAT may you live in our consoles for ever.
Only $30?
I'll take it!
More stupid QTE's and utterly pointless Multiplayer deathmatch garbage. I'll pass.
Wait, $30? Why so reasonably priced?
Dragon_Nexus why ask why.... its a downloadable game it needs to be resonable if its an original ip
I've been playing this game for about 4 months now lol
So as I have been forced to buy a wii u for bayonetta and I currently just have a gaming pc are their any chances of me gettign to experience this game. Plat games has become one of my top favorite developers and I really don't want to miss this one.
I would love to see a new branch of games at $30. This way we could see more SP only games being released because more people are willing to give $30 for a SP only game.
Holy crap i thought this game came out already ha....
Well, that's pretty good. I'm definitely getting it.
I wasn't expecting it to be that price. That's great.
I wont buy it until they release bayonetta 2 for the ps3 or xbox 360. first capcom screws dmc now bayonetta is exclusive. Whats next nomura cancels vsXIII or it becomes the new duke nukem forever
lil_jon86 Bad way to protest dude. You SHOULD buy this, the original Bayonetta, Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising for your PS3/360 so that they see how much better their sales figures are on those platforms than they are on the WiiU. Not supporting the games they DO release for your console of choice isn't an effective way of telling them they should support it more.
lil_jon86 Then that means you're never getting it. Its exclusive and Nintendo funding it means its not going anywhere. Not buying this game will just give them the message that PS3 and XBOX gamers don't want to play their games.
lil_jon86 I'm just as sour as you are about Bayonetta being Wii U exclusive but you should understand that it isn't completely Platinum's fault, Nintendo was the only publisher to step up and fund it (so I hear) so if anything, be frustrated at all the other stupid publishers for not taking up Platinum's offer.
lil_jon86 It was Sega's decision. They decided against Bayo on other consoles and because of that happened what happened. But I gonna support Platinum, so they have more money for publishing. Believe me, it's in their best interests to have enough money for multiplatforing
God bless Platinum Games!
Start the new year with madness and with a great price.
I am getting this for sure.
nice price, will definitely get it.
I was wondering how gamespot managed to review this.
Stringerboy I think they imported it from Japan.
$30!? WOW, I don't even own a 360 or ps3 at the moment, but I am totally gonna buy this.
So it's made by Platinum, only costs $30, and stars that badass dude from MadWorld? Now I have no excuse to not get it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to change my pants.
*gasp*
Half a year to release a game that's already completely in English. I'd be interested to know Sega's thought process regarding this entire matter.

i was just about to say the same thing. i might just order that version online
The price point on it is low because it didn't sell in japan. I imported a copy and i love it. The online is great if you can get a match in. With the western release it will be much easier to get into matches though.
30$? Wow. I love beat'ems, and it's nice to see someone, especially Platinum, making new ones.
Strider8009 the game may not be a gem among the other great games so a $30 price tag fits the game's quality.
This game is like a next gen power stone from what I've played.
I really, really, really want this game.
It reminds me of the fun I had with Phantom Dust online last gen, I hope it lives up! :P
Hell yeah, very sweeeet deal here 8)
A platinum game for 30? Count me in.
i all ready played it was fun for a bit but the online can get old fast
not interested unless Sam Gideon is in it....
Crap... $30?! They really want this to sell. Sort of wished I hadn't imported it back in July now. Oh well, it's still awesome!
It's a great game, addicting and a must-have for Beat em up fans.
This game was reviewed months before its Western release? I have not see this for a long time.
The price is right. So I am definately there.
Why such a low price?
Crazyguy105
Don't question a good thing man, just enjoy it for what it is
Crazyguy105 most likely a "sorry for the delay" price tag.
TheSkilledOne06 Crazyguy105 O they're worried it won't sell well. That's the main reason it was delayed again and again out of fear of failing in competition with AAA titles.
ABEzilla116 TheSkilledOne06 Crazyguy105
Thing is they could have released the game earlier, with no competition at all.
Hopefully it won't just be a downloadable game, I like to own physical copies.
alex33x It and Colonial Marines will be the final 2 published SEGA 3rd party physical releases.
