Arc System Works in partnership with APLUS Games have revealed Kill la Kill the Game will be released next year. Described as a "battle action" title for up to two players, the exact platforms the game will be available on have not yet been announced.
More details about the title based on Studio Trigger's 2013 series will be shared at this year's Anime Expo, held in Los Angeles from the 5th to 8th of July. Both the character designer and creative officer for Kill la Kill will be present at the event.
Given the fact Arc System Works has already released BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle for the Switch – with Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R and Dragon Ball FighterZ also on the way, it seems there's a reasonable chance this upcoming title will be added to the list. As for the history of the developer APLUS, its previous work includes the video game adaptation of Little Witch Academia.
Take a look at the official Kill la Kill the Game screenshots and Japanese television advert below:

I'm going to say no, at least not initially. I wouldn't be surprised to see it come to PS4 and maybe Xbox One first and then a Switch port is revealed at a later date after initial release. Just seems to be how third party games are being developed.
Can't say I wouldn't buy it, the anime was amazing, and if it's anything like naruto, or the my hero academia games then there's no complaining from me
They should have gone for a Darling in the Franxx game considering the current hype.
the anime looks like ****, no offense.
but ARC system makes good games.
I'll keep an eye out anyway.
Prepare for some dubious close-ups... The anime was laugh out loud funny at times, though. Hope they keep that sense of humour.
Such a strange and interesting anime series. Always thought it would make a fantastic Suda Game. But I'll be happy with what ever
I want them to port Little Witch Academia to the Switch first
Anime fighting game = lazy cash grab. Give me an adventure game, an action RPG or something that puts me into the anime, feels like a game ACTUALLY based on the series. Not yet another fighting game, or Warriors/Musou game that just feels like they threw a themed skin over a generic title.
At least Kill la Kill does have that format of one on one fights most of the show but still.
Fine with Anime but this looks terrible - horrible artwork style.
Oh wow! This will be awesome!
i loved Kill La Kill !!!
do a durarara game next please lol
@KappaBeta I’m stoked that we’re getting a Kill la Kill game, but I’d definetly agree that a Darling in the Franxx game would be awesome, I love that show so much.
It's worth to reiterate that the nature of the "partnership" is that Aplus is the developer while ASW is publishing the game, think French Bread's Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late and Exe:Late[ST].
i'll pick it up on PC or PS4, maybe double dip on a switch version (if that ever happen)
Lost Angeles?
I'll pick this up for sure. One of my top 5 favourite anime being developed by one of my favourite studios...
BUT I can't help but feel that if a Kill La Kill game is going to be a thing, having it be a 1v1 fighter is a missed opportunity (It's Arksys, I'll be surprised if it isn't).
I'm not a massive fan of them, but it's one of the few times I would have said being developed by Platinum or a similar studio would have been great. Kill La Kill feels like it would translate very well into a Platinum style action game.
Sorry but a trailer with no gameplay is not interesting enough for me.
Given the fact Arc System Works has already released Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle for the Switch – with Dragon Ball FighterZ also on the way, it seems there's a reasonable chance this upcoming title will be added to the list.
Sorry NL, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is not out for the Switch yet, release date for that one is still TBA.
If it were a beat 'em up, maybe.
@retro_player_22 Lol why would you expect a Gameplay trailer for it now? That Trailer is called an Announcement Trailer.
im sold if it comes to switch.
@IceEarthGuard The answer to your question is already in my comment so I'm not gonna repeat myself again.
Totally will buy this if it comes to Switch (unless it's a 1-on-1 fighter, that genre doesn't interest me anymore). Will be curious to see how Ninty is with some of the more mature themes and revealing outfits/character designs.
@Nunya I feel Gurren Lagann would mesh well with that universe. They seem to have the same art style.
What about a Sailor Moon Arc game?
@MysteryCupofJoe Hiroyuki Imaishi, animator and director, involved with both shows.
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R has not "already been released for Switch."
seems to be good game
@Eddyson Check it out sometime. It’s honestly one of my favorite anime, and I’ve been watching the stuff for a long long time, haha. Studio Trigger produced it, and they’re fantastic.
@retro_player_22 Hmm.... I don't see the answer, nothing in your comment answers my question.
All you said it seems you wanted an gameplay trailer right away, when it was just announced.
You are just assuming you already answered but in fact you are assuming what I was thinking about your comment which is wrong.
Basically what I was thinking is that you just wanted an Gameplay trailer right away, but that is just illogical to think right away.
@retro_player_22 Fixed!
I love Kill la Kill, but I'm not very familiar with APLUS as a developer. (I know they did the Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time game, but I've never played it myself.)
I'm cautiously optimistic about this game.
Can't wait for this. Hopefully it's good. Seeing the screenshots that make it look like an anime arena fighter makes me a bit nervous as those generally are pretty mediocre but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Couldn't possibly end up any more risqué that what Senran Kagura pulls on a regular basis.
@IceEarthGuard Your comment reply that you just wrote already answered your own question that you asked so no need to repeating myself. If you still don't know the answer then you must be blind in understanding and need to seek help asap.
@retro_player_22 So basically you wanted an Gameplay trailer right away okay. Just saying that it is too early for it yeesh. (So I think you are impatient is what I was trying to say.)
