‘GUTS’ Coming To PS4 & Xbox One This Fall

Flux Game Studio’s fighting game splattering the PC gaming scene “GUTS” is now being developed for consoles this fall, this comes in light of some major updates to the PC version as well.

As the characters fight, they’ll lose limbs which won’t stop them as there are unique fighting moves associated with missing limbs!
