« Arc System Works Now Owns The Rights To Guilty Gear »

Siliconera posted up an interesting story on how Arc System Works once again owns the rights to Guilty Gear. You may not remember, but a while back Sammy (who originally owned the IP) merged with SEGA, and during the merger Guilty Gear was passed onto the newly formed Sega Sammy Holdings. Obviously nothing really significant happened with Guilty Gear since then.

Today, Arc System Works filed a trademark in the Japanese trademark database, so it seems Arc System Works has claimed the IP for themselves. There aren't any details of how they obtained the IP, but it's assumed they bought the rights back from SEGA. 

The bigger picture here is, could a new Guilty Gear be closer than we think? Only time will tell. 

Thanks to lexxxington for the tip.
