Tsunamis. Carpet bombings. Giant sea squids. Not the way you normally see a round end in a fighting game. But from the looks of things, Anarchy Reigns isn’t going to be your average fighting game.

Over the top doesn’t seem to be a problem here as utter chaos seemingly engulfs this world.

With ANARCHY REIGNS, PlatinumGames will be using their hallmark creativity and technical excellence to challenge the boundaries of the conventional brawler genre by allowing multiple players to get involved in heavy-hitting action simultaneously.
ANARCHY REIGNS incorporates a diverse range of multiplayer modes to provide players with different challenges, including Tag Team battles and Battle Royal, where players can challenge others in a full-on fight for victory.
