All things Arc System Works are coming to a head at the ARC World Tour 2023 Finals where three different fighting games will crown a champion. From Guilty Gear Strive to Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes], the action all goes down in Long Beach, California.
Spread over three days from March 21 to 23, ArcSys split its biggest tournament into multiple parts to host other events alongside its tournaments. This included live activities, chances to play matches against the developers of several games, a concert, and more in the lead-up to top-level action for the two main games of the weekend—Guilty Gear Strive and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising.
For GGST specifically, this is the end of the ARC World Tour 2023 circuit and will see the top 16 players in the world competing for their share of $100,000. We also got a glimpse at what is coming next for the game, with A.B.A. confirmed to be making her comeback on March 26. If you want to keep up with all of the top results for Guilty Gear Strive, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, and Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes], here is a full overview for every game—with live updating brackets.
