Sega announced today that Anarchy Reigns, the upcoming multiplayer brawler, developed by PlatinumGames, has been scheduled for a Jan. 8 2013 release on the PS3 and Jan. 11 release on the Xbox 360.

Set in an open world, and priced at only $29.99, up to 16 players will be able to fight it out in a variety of game modes such as Battle Royale, Survival Mode and Deathball.

“Focusing on online play with Anarchy Reigns presented a new challenge for us here at PlatinumGames,” added Atsushi Inaba, Executive Director/Producer at Platinum Games. “Very few games fall under its genre of a melee-based online multiplayer brawler, so I think we’ve been able to supply a new kind of excitement that you can’t find anywhere else. While some time has passed since its Japan release, I look forward to having gamers in North America and Europe enjoy the Anarchy!”
