Guilty Gear Strive is just over three years old at this point, but Arc System Works could be giving the game its most ambitious season yet. Season 4 has been announced as part of Evo 2024, and it'll include some super exciting stuff.
For starters, Strive's getting a three-on-three team battle mode, which can be played online with three players on each team, controlling each character. Then, we've got confirmation of four additional fighters. Two are returning characters from previous Guilty Gear titles, in the form of Dizzy (who's now a queen), and Venom.
They'll be joined by a new character named Unika — who we believe is from the upcoming Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers anime — and Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Yep, Strive's getting its first guest character, in collaboration with CD Projekt Red. Cool!

That's pretty cool. Haven't got the game but I've been interested for a while.
Any word on if that three v three can be played locally for online play, or would I only be able too team up with online players? Cos if I can team up locally then I'd buy it today.
Crazy announcement. I expected Dizzy and Unika, didn't expect Venom or a guest character.
Guess I should watch Edgerunners.
@Nf157 Good question, I guess we'll see next weekend (there's an open beta for the mode)
@Voltan
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye out for that.
And ye you should definitely watch edgerunners. I haven't played cyberpunk and that wasn't a problem, the show is awesome.
Time to start playing Guilty Gear Strive. Lucy is so awesome!
No Jam......NOOOOOOO!! ASW what are we doing huh?
Let me guess, next season they will add 2B as another guest character since she already in GBVR 🤣
And as much as i enjoyed Edgerunner, but it's just weird to see a guest character from a series that have nothing to do with fighting games or Guilty Gear. The same every time i see Negan and Noctis in Tekken 7 or 2B in GBVR and SC 6.
Wow that is something I did not expect, I will check that out even if I still suck at fighting games lol
@PuppetMaster welcome to the fortnite era. have you seen MK lately 😂 robocop, rambo, omni man, etc
@PuppetMaster dang it, I was gonna make the same joke, lol!
The GG community is mad that it’s Lucy and not another GG veteran or Ragna but it makes complete sense. A BlazBlue character would be too limited of an audience, and of all characters I feel like a sci fi punk character with a unique weapon from an acclaimed anime makes sense.
This is a crazy announcement. Considering how impactful guest characters are on player population for fighters, I hope GG flies even higher from this. This pass as a whole seems pretty awesome, but Venom confuses me since I thought he was retired but hey I can't be mad with everyone else on the pass and how awesome team of 3 looks.
@Deoxyr1bose it's an unexpected choice but it's definitely a good one to bring new audience to the game
Oh haaaaaaaaail yes. 😎
Such a left field but awesome choice, they could have gone with V or maybe David but no they went with the character that I think suits GG's style more.
Okay, Baiken has been in the game for a long time and now Lucy is being added is enough for me to finally buy Strive.
On a list of things I didn’t expect to be announced.
LUCY!? Damn. I might have to pick up GG.
All I can say is nice to see Dizzy and Venom again, nothing to say about Unika, and Lucy was unexpected.
Lack of Jam hurts though, guess they are saving her for the next game.
@nomither6 Yeah they got Alien, Predator, TMNT, Terminator. It doesn't feel like MK anymore but a Mugen game lol.
@Yousef- Don't worry. You will get another chance to used that joke lol.
@PuppetMaster touché and too true! XD
