Arc System Works President Minoru Kidooka Discusses the Company, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- 2014 Release, and Upcoming Location Test This August!

Ever since the release of the first intro trailer a few months back after Arc Revo, Guilty Gear fans have been thirsty for some -or any- new information regarding the next entry into the prestigious series, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-. Today we may get more than what we bargained for.

In a candid interview with Famistsu and translated by the folks over at Polygon, Arc System Works' President Minoru Kidooka not only discusses a bit of history with the company; from its initial infant days to current, including following the lead of innovators such as Toshimichi Mori and Ishiwatari Daisuke, but also plans for the company moving forward from the release of BlazBlue CP this fall into 2014 with the 'hopeful' release of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- as a next generation title. This in itself makes for a great read so be sure to check it out!

As if that wasn't enough, news out of Famitsu and confirmed by Arc System Works' website tell of Xrd's first Location test, which will be held from August 9th to the 12th on the fourth floor of the Sega Akihabara Building! Series Director and legend in his own name Ishiwatari Daisuke and Pachi will be on hand 10:00 - 10:30 on the 9th to kick off the festivities!

In the meantime, get your eyes wet and watch the reveal trailer all over again!
