Alongside Team Of 3 mode, and other new characters
Season four of Guilty Gear Strive will introduce a new Team Of 3 mode, new stages, a new character called Unika, two fighters returning from previous Guilty Gear games, Queen Dizzy and Venom, and Lucy from Edgerunners. It’s out today, and it’ll cost £23from Steam. The base game is currently 50% reduced, meanwhile, at £18.49.
I’m a big Cyberpunk fan, but I’ve only seen a couple episodes of Edgerunners and I have no particularly affection for Lucy. My interest here lies mainly in how stunning Guilty Gear Strive looks. It’s the game I tuned into watch at this year’s EVO, because although I have only a passing understanding of fighting games, and no ability to parse high level tournament play, its character design and animation are worth the effort of trying. I feel similarly about Studio Trigger, the Japanese animation studio behind Edgerunners and Lucy’s character design. She doesn’t seem to have heard of trousers or to know what belts are for, but I want to see her in Strive.
Guilty Gear is getting its own anime. Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers is coming next year from Sanzigen Studio, and new character Unika is apparently a key character from the show. A teaser trailerdropped a couple of weeks ago.
