Arc System Works has announced GUILTY GEAR - STRIVE - DUAL RULERS! "DUAL RULERS" is the first anime adaptation of the long running GUILTY GEAR fighting series that began way back in 1998. While information is currently limited, DUAL RULERS is set to be a new story in the franchise, with a full announcement being scheduled for July 4th at Anime Expo 2024.
