Without being previously announced, Arc System Works has released a Steam PC port of the Xbox exclusive game, Guilty Gears 2 -Overture-.

The story takes place five years after the first Guilty Gear game. Sol Badguy is still free, but now travels with the young warrior Sin. Meanwhile, Ky Kiske, who is now the king of a country named Illyria, has learned of two shocking developments: first, the Gears that have been sealed away for many years are now beginning to vanish; and second, his kingdom is under attack by a mysterious force. Desperate, he sends out a “Wanted” poster with Sol’s face on it, demanding he’d be brought to Illyria. Sol and Sin have realized that this is Ky’s way of calling for help, and rush to the rescue as they find themselves surrounded by strange, doll-like women armed with giant wrenches.

Guilty Gears 2 -Overture– has a gameplay system similar to action games such as Devil May Cry while keeping the series characteristic special moves, and mixes with real time strategy elements. The player has a troop management system, MOBA style levels, and capture/summoning points.

The roster of controllable characters consists of familiar faces of the series like Sol Badguy and Ky Kiske, and newer ones like Dr. Paradigm and Valentine. This game also marks the first appearance of the character Sin Kiske, now a staple of the main series.
