It doesn't come as any huge surprise, but Arc System Works will continue its support for Guilty Gear Strive beyond Season 4, and into 2026.
Guilty Gear Strive 2.00 will arrive next year — a major update that'll seemingly bring new characters to the fold. Said characters were teased after the game's Evo 2025 grand finals — and you can see their mysterious artwork in the below screenshot.
But long before 2.00 arrives, players can look forward to playing Lucy (from the excellent Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime) on the 21st August. The Japanese developer appears to have done an amazing job adapting the no-nonsense netrunner, as she fights with monowires and quickhacks taken straight from Cyberpunk 2077. Her animations are seriously on point.
