Anarchy Reigns will launch on January 8, 2013 in the US and January 11, 2013 in Europe, SEGA has announced.
The multiplayer brawler will support up to 16 players and has a suggested retail cost of £19.99/€29.99/$29.99.
We heard rumours earlier this week that the game would release on these dates, and it appears they were correct. It's a relief, as for a time the game's future looked uncertain following its sudden delay in the West back in May.
Speaking about the new release date, Platinum Games' executive director Atsushi Inaba said, "Focusing on online play with Anarchy Reigns presented a new challenge for us here at PlatinumGames. 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 American and Europe enjoy the Anarchy."
Anarchy Reigns will release simultaneously on PS3 and Xbox 360.
