According to the new Famitsu, the new Guilty Gear will also be released on the Vita some time in 2013. As a bonus, the Vita version will have full voice acting. The PSN & XBLA versions will be released in October of this year in Japan. All three versions will have game rebalancing based off of the recently released arcade version, Plus R.
Producer Toshimichi Mori mentioned that CP is a direct sequel to Continuum Shift Extend and he recommends that players should replay the story mode to keep things fresh. He also said that in CP instead of having a story for each individual that instead there will be three main stories which will tie into one "true ending." Players will be able to switch characters as they advance the storyline. Mori mentioned that the tutorial mode will be returning, with more voices this time, and an mode based off of Abyss from Extend.
Update:
Andriasang posted a follow-up to their previous post stating that the Famitsu feature was a full preview for the PS3 version and that as of this time, there is no X-Box 360 version, at least in Japan. It looks like Arc is focusing a lot of time to make sure the net code works right out of the box. Currently the home version is 30% done, but no release date has been decided.
4Gamer attended a localization test for the arcade version and shared a image of what the character select screen looks like in it's current state.
