Anarchy Reigns is a whacky, multiplayer beat-em-up by Platinum Games (Vanquish, Bayonetta), and it’s hitting your PS3 and Xbox 360 very soon. With visuals similar to the Wii’s Mad World, and a splash of Bayonetta’s style, Anarchy Reigns is about to fill a hole in the online competitive market. Sega has just announced that the game is slated for January 8th in North America, and January 11th in Europe.

As for the pricing, I have to applaud Sega and Platinum for setting a lower-than-usual price of $29.99. I’m sure there are plenty of people who want to get in on some Anarchy, but $59.99 price tags can be hard to justify; especially when games at those prices offer so many options, areas, modes etc. (Uncharted 3, anyone?).
