Today, staff of Osaka's KO-HATSU Game Center announced that Guilty Gear Xrd would be arriving at Japanese arcades in spring of 2014. The game will utilize Sega's ALL.Net P-ras MULTI network, the same used for Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R, UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH, and Phantom Breaker: Another Code. Sega's ALL.Net is a competitor to Taito’s NESiCAxLIVE service, which is used for BlazBlue: Chronophantasma in Japan.
This news comes only a few weeks after the conclusion of the loketest at the Sega building in Akihibara. Although the day and month of release have still not been given, a spring release will allow for BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma's console release to thrive for a little while before Xrd releases. All that remains to be seen is an arcade release date for Persona 4 P-1 Climax. Although I personally doubt that Arc System Works would allow this happen, the P4C loketest means that it should also be ready for arcade release sometime in the next year and could result in overlap between the release of P4C and the early lifespan of Xrd in arcades. However, ASW is usually good at spacing their releases out, so this is unlikely to occur.
