Guilty Gear -Strive- Gets PS5 Confirmation and New Characters

Many titles in the fighting game genre have managed to transcend several generations of consoles from Street Fighter to Tekken, and just in, we have an announcement for new characters coming to the next Guilty Gear game, Guilty Gear -Strive-.

Check out series vet Leo Whitefang and newcomer Naogoriyuki:

Here’s the character descriptions for each:

Guilty Gear Strive Nagoriyuki Nagoriyuki
Nagoriyuki is the newest addition to the Guilty Gear universe. A vampire with a number of unique and powerful abilities, he wields a huge sword with impressive skill in battle and slashes at his enemies with punishing blows. Stay tuned for more info about this mysterious figure!
Leo Whitefang Guilty Gear Strive Leo Whitefang
Leo is one of the three “Allied Kings” of the Allied Kingdom of Illyria, and is responsible for the governing of Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. He is also an accomplished warrior in his own right, with a relentless fighting style.

While other franchise like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter have moved on from the 2D feel to more 3D visuals, it looks like Guilty Gear is still sticking to the more traditional aesthetic when it comes to their game. They’re still using updated 3D models for characters, but the 2D look is prevalent, from the visual gags to character interactions.

It’s also worth noting that Arc System Works America Inc. has announced that the game is also coming to the PS5, so we should get more information on that soon. Hopefully we’ll get a full look before the year ends.

Expect Guilty Gear –Strive- to be available for the PS4, PS5, and PC sometime early 2021.
