New and Returning Fighters
The Return of Queen Dizzy
Making a triumphant return from Guilty Gear X, Queen Dizzy boasts a regal new look and hints at significant lore implications. Her versatile fighting style blends ranged and melee attacks, adapting to her opponent's strategy. Expect Queen Dizzy in October 2024.
Venom's Strategic Billiard Ball Mastery
The billiard-ball-wielding Venom also returns from Guilty Gear X. His unique gameplay revolves around precise ball placement to control the battlefield, offering a high-skill-ceiling for tactical players. Look for Venom in Early 2025.
Unika: A New Face from Guilty Gear Strive - Dual Rulers
Unika, hailing from the anime adaptation Guilty Gear Strive - Dual Rulers, will be a fresh addition to the roster in 2025.
Lucy: A Cyberpunk Surprise!
Season 4's biggest surprise is Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, marking the first guest character in Guilty Gear Strive. This isn't CD Projekt Red's first foray into fighting game crossovers (remember Geralt in Soul Calibur VI?); expect Lucy, a technical character whose cybernetic enhancements and netrunning abilities will be seamlessly integrated into Guilty Gear Strive's gameplay. She'll arrive in 2025.
