Anarchy Reigns moved to July 2012 photo

Sega sends word that Platinum Games' Anarchy Reigns has been pushed back a bit. The new date for this PS3 and Xbox 360 title is July 3, 2012. It sounds like they need a bit more time to get things going.

"ANARCHY REIGNS brings a new take to the brawler genre and we have decided to take a little more time to deliver the full knockout punch. I can’t reveal much now, but it has something to do with scale. Let’s just say traditional one-on-one or two versus two fighters will be a thing of the past," said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA West.

These guys have a lot going on lately. No one is going to fault them for taking their time to make this good.

Give me a good SP for when the MP community dies, and I'll be alright.

After Bayonetta and Vanquish, I have little doubt that this will be batshit crazy. Don't let me down Platinum.

Oh wow, that is a huge delay from January. Hopefully that means things are being added or fixed.

Hopefully this game has Bayonetta... and then they drop Rising and make Bayonetta 2.

I have faith in them to make an amazing brawler for single and multiplayer.

What amazes me is how this little developer is now working on three titles simultaneously: Anarchy Reigns, Metal Gear Rising, and Hideki Kamiya's unannounced game!

Good idea. From the gameplay videos I saw it looked pretty bland. They need more time to make this game exciting.

I wondered what was going on with this after we hadn’t heard about it for a while. The game looks like good fun and I’m excited about the return of the beat-em-up but it did look like it could use a little more......something.

I'm hoping for a deliriously violent version of Powerstone. Platinum have yet to disappoint me.

I am excited for this but I really think they should let us put in bots.

I feel like I've been waiting forever for this (;_;)

They could push it back to 2013 and I wouldn't care as long as the game lives up to all of my expectations.

please have offline multiplayer. If it ain't a major franchise, the online community will die quick so give us some offline goodness please.
