Platinum Games’ next title, Anarchy Reigns, is a little different from the developer’s previous singleplayer-focussed efforts like Vanquish and Bayonetta, and will this time include a wide-ranging multiplayer component so that many more players will be able to get into the brutal melee brawling action later this year.

In this video interview with Platinum Games’ Atushi Inaba, we not only learn about a new feature called ‘Action Trigger Events’ (or ATEs) that aim to level the playing field for veteran and novice gamers who happen to meet up online, but there is also a massive amount of in-game footage from Anarchy Reigns included.
