Guilty Gear -Strive- is the latest entry in the fighting game franchise, and upholds the series' reputation for groundbreaking hybrid 2D/3D cell-shaded graphics and intense, rewarding gameplay.

Guilty Gear -Strive- will bring the franchise to the next level with new gameplay and updated design, created by the main development team that is lauded over their previous work.

Sophisticated game mechanics designed to bring out the mind games we know fighting games for, including the audacious new wall-break mechanic. The drama heats up as you and your opponent clash!

With zoom-ins and slow motion camera effects, impressive text visuals and top-notch animation quality, Guilty Gear -Strive- is filled to the brim with visual elements to make the show even more exciting, not only for you but also for those who watch it.

Arc System Works announced the newest playable Guilty Gear -Strive- character, Slayer, is available beginning May 30. The final Season 3 character releases alongside the new battle stage “Amber Fest with Kind Neighbors.” The news was announced during EVO Japan 2024 this past weekend, showcasing Slayer’s powerful moveset in a brand new reveal trailer.

Slayer Details

The laid-back and dignified vampire Slayer joins the fray! Equipped with an arsenal of moves that allow him to change up the tempo of his gameplay, he can easily propel himself forward, rushing down his opponents. Despite his calm demeanor, he possesses an overwhelming strength in battle. His code of ‘dandyism” is key to taking anything in stride.

A descendent of vampiric lineage, he finds human society trivial at times. However, he admires humans' tumultuous emotions, finding them both coveting and charming. He created the Assassin's Guild but has since retired, indulging in instead with genuine combat and haikus. After meeting his immortal wife, Sharon, who is immune to aging and bloodsucking, he enjoys an untroubled life in retirement, occasionally venturing out for some people-watching.

Playable characters featured in Season Pass 3 will be fully available to players who purchased Season Pass 3.
