Guilty Gear XX Λ Core Plus, with Λ standing for "Accent", is the fourth update to Guilty Gear XX following Guilty Gear XX Λ Core, and the overall eighteenth installment of the Guilty Gear series. No changes to the battle system were made, but new features were added including a new Story Mode that continues the story from XX.

A PAL region collector's edition was also released in Europe in 2011 by Zen United.[1] This edition was limited to 200 copies and was sold exclusively through Zen United's online store by preorder only. It included the following items:
