Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is the overall twenty-fourth entry in the Guilty Gear series and the update title to Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator-, first announced during Arc System Works Game Award in January 14, 2017.[1]

Players who bought -Revelator- on consoles or Steam only require a paid Rev 2 downloadable update patch in either PlayStation version. The PlayStation 4 version also received a physical disc release that includes all DLC. Five years after release, the Steam version will implement rollback netcode to improve online play, with a Beta Test starting on October 28, 2022.[2]

Summary[]

Rev 2 contains all story content that appears in -Revelator-, but adds three new episodes. In After Story A, Raven informs Asuka that preparations for G4 are complete. As they are to part ways, Asuka refrains from saying his usual farewell, and Raven peruses whether Asuka is content with him targeting Sol next, recalling that Asuka once implied he wanted Raven to be a "storyteller". Asuka explains he simply wanted to part as friends when the time came. Raven then tells Asuka of his attempt at playing God, only to conclude that an immortal storyteller may be able to touch people's hearts and truly save them. Raven asks Asuka to say his usual line, vowing to live up to those words as his friend. Asuka thanks him and says the line.

At the Kiskes' manor, Ky, Dizzy and Sin are about to have tea when Elphelt, Ramlethal and her magehound arrive. The topic of being unable to stay for long comes up, and Ky informs them he intends to formally reveal the truth about their family. Elphelt then shows them a newspaper article on Dizzy's public image due to defending the capitol. Hopeful that they might be able to remain together as a family, Ky's mood is ruined by Sin wondering where Sol fits. Sol then arrives and Ky hurries to answer the door to make him leave, but something is amiss and so he leaves alongside Sol. Meanwhile, at the Illyrian War Room, Leo laments the amount of paperwork he has back at his jurisdiction, when he receives a call. At a park, Sol cryptically challenges Ky to a duel, recalling the latter's status as a Gear "killing machine" during the Crusades. Ky refuses until Sol insults Dizzy, and then goes all out, quickly defeating Sol. When Sol wakes up, Ky realizes Sol is preparing for a fight against Asuka. Then comes the news: Asuka has surrendered himself to the U.S. government.

In After Story B, Zato tells Slayer that he will eliminate their loose end, Venom, whose survival will put the renewed Assassin's Guild in jeopardy should anyone find out. Meanwhile, Venom is at his alleyway shop waiting for clients, intending to replace Robo-Ky's body lost in the fight againt Bedman, but hindered by the low profile he is keeping. Venom and Robo-Ky's conversation is interrupted by 2cave and two subordinates. 2cave requests a shoe shine for them all, and Venom obeys, while Robo-Ky opts to keep quiet. Venom and 2cave talk about the guild's direction going forward, much of it in metaphor. When Venom finishes shining their shoes, a citizen stumbles upon the scene, and 2cave gives Venom an ultimatum. Instead of re-joining the guild, Venom vows to protect the town. The assassins back off; 2cave gives Venom a deed to a shop, and relays Zato's wish for him: He is no longer a sheep, nor a wolf, he is simply human and should live like humans do. Sometime later, after Venom has opened his bakery yet nobody has realized his true identity, Zato pays Venom and Robo-Ky a visit.

In After Story C, Zappa, Randy, and the Illyrian operators Alexis, Ellsworth, Trey and Anders are invited by King Daryl to celebrate their victory. However, the party takes a turn for the serious when the subject of their ruined first attempt to celebrate comes up, and they end up talking about the circumstances behind the collapse of Alyssa's massive, record-breaking pudding. As they each give their account of the party, Zappa starts piecing together the evidence, coming to the conclusion that Alyssa summoned a demon to make sure the pudding stayed intact but failed to extend the contract; as a result, due to the demon's penalty, anyone who tasted the pudding is being blasted into the sky. All present, except Zappa, are blasted away.
