Guilty Gear Strive Anime Adaptation Called ‘Dual Rulers’ Announced

Developer Arc System Works has revealed Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers, an anime adaptation based on its hit 2021 fighting game. Though there’s no release date or window in sight, Arc System Works says Sanzigen Studios is producing the anime. Notably, Sanzigen Studios is the same studio behind protagonist Sol Badguy’s “Find Your Way” music video in Guilty Gear Strive. 

As for what to expect from a plot perspective, Arc System Works has revealed little, though it says Dual Rulers will be at this year’s Anime Expo 2024 in July. 

“Shigeru Morikawa (famous for Argonavis the Movie: Axia) will direct,” the Dual Rulers announcement reads. “Others attached to the project include Guilty Gear writer Norimitsu Kaihō for series composition and Seiji Mizushima (famous for Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Fullmetal Alchemist) as associate producer.”
