Guilty Gear Strive is set to add Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to its roster in Season Pass 4 in 2025, which will mark the first time a guest character will be added to the series.
As spotted by Wario64, the announcement appears to have leaked ahead of its official reveal at EVO alongside the news that Season Pass 4 will arrive on July 22, 2024.
We didn’t get a good look at Lucy in the game as she is the farthest one away of the new characters, but we did learn she will be joined by two returning characters and a brand new one.
The first fighter will be the Queen of Vialattea, Queen Dizzy, who first appeared in Guilty Gear X and will arrive in October. Venom, who also first appeared in Guilty Gear X, will join the roster in early 2025 and will be followed be the newcomer Unika later next year.
This next season of content for Guilty Gear Strive will also see the additions of a new online battle mode in Team of 3, which will pit the Red Team vs. the Blue Team intense battles with lots of characters. Additionally, there will be a new exclusive color for characters, new stages, and more.
