Guilty Gear Strive has revealed its content for its Season 4 DLC Pass, which includes returning fighters Dizzy and Venom, along with two new fighters. Guilty Gear Strive's other fighters are Unika, a brand-new character, and an unexpected crossover guest fighter from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Lucy. Lucy's addition makes her the very first guest fighter in the Guilty Gear franchise. A number of other additional modes and changes are also coming to the game.

Guilty Gear Strive is the seventh mainline entry in Arc System Works' long-running fighting game franchise. Strive was first released in 2021 to critical acclaim, with this entry bringing the series to a wider audience as well. Strive has had three seasons of content, adding a number of fan favorite veterans, along with new additions. Some of these DLC characters for Guilty Gear Strive were highly requested additions, like Slayer and A.B.A., or relatively new characters who became fan favorites, like Asuka and Bedman. Recently, Arc System Works revealed the Season 4 DLC Pass content during the premiere fighting game tournament, EVO.

The first character returning in Strive's Season 4 Pass is Dizzy, now re-christened as Queen Dizzy, as part of her marriage to Ky Kiske. Dizzy was a highly-requested character for Strive's fourth season, as her entire family was already in the game, and was a veteran who was noticeably absent from the roster. Another highly-requested character was Venom, as he has an incredibly unique move set. The most unexpected addition to Strive's roster, however, is Lucy, a guest fighter from Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners.

Guilty Gear Strive - Season 4 Pass Contents:

  • Queen Dizzy (October 2024)
  • Venom (Early 2025)
  • Unika (2025)
  • Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2025)
  • 3v3 Online Tag Battle Mode
  • Exclusive New Costume Colors
  • New Stages

Lucy is an extremely popular character from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, an anime adaptation of CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk: 2077. Aside from Lucy's incredibly appealing design, she's shown to be an incredibly adept netrunner. Lucy will be the last character added to Guilty Gear Strive's fourth season, arriving sometime in 2025. The third character is Unika, who is touted as a brand-new character. They will likely play a role in the upcoming Guilty Gear anime that is in the works. The release order will be Queen Dizzy, Venom, Unika, and then Lucy.

Strive's fourth season will also add an online 3v3 mode, making it a team-based fighting game similar to Dragon Ball FighterZ and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. A new exclusive color palette will be included in this pack, along with four new stages. Altogether, these make for a very exciting season of Guilty Gear Strive, with many excited to get back into the game, and others curious as to how Lucy will play.
