Get ready for a major update to Guilty Gear Strive! Season 4 introduces a thrilling 3v3 Team Mode, the return of fan-favorite characters, and a surprising crossover with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Season 4 Pass Details
Arc System Works is revamping Guilty Gear Strive with a brand-new 3v3 Team Mode. This innovative mode allows for six-player team battles, creating exciting strategic possibilities and diverse character combinations. Season 4 also welcomes back Dizzy and Venom from Guilty Gear X, alongside a new character, Unika (from the upcoming Guilty Gear Strive - Dual Rulers), and the unexpected addition of Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. This season promises fresh gameplay and exciting new challenges for both veterans and newcomers.
The New 3v3 Team Mode
The 3v3 Team Mode is a game-changer. Three-player teams battle it out, demanding strategic team composition and tactical decision-making. Each character will have a unique "Break-In" special move, usable only once per match, adding another layer of depth to the gameplay.
Currently, the 3v3 mode is in Open Beta, allowing players to experience the new mode and provide feedback.

New and Returning Fighters
Queen Dizzy's Return
The regal Queen Dizzy returns from Guilty Gear X, sporting a new look and hinting at significant lore developments. Her blend of ranged and melee attacks makes her a versatile and adaptable fighter. Expect Dizzy in October 2024.
Venom's Comeback
The billiard ball-wielding Venom also makes his comeback from Guilty Gear X. His strategic use of billiard balls to control the battlefield adds a unique layer of tactical depth. Venom's precise and setup-based gameplay will challenge even the most seasoned players. Look for Venom in Early 2025.
Unika Joins the Fray
Unika, hailing from the anime adaptation Guilty Gear Strive - Dual Rulers, is the newest addition to the roster. Unika's arrival is slated for 2025.
Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
The Season 4 Pass's biggest surprise is Lucy, the first guest character in Guilty Gear Strive. This exciting crossover with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners follows in the footsteps of Geralt of Rivia's appearance in Soul Calibur VI. Expect a technically skilled character whose cybernetic enhancements and netrunning abilities will translate into unique gameplay mechanics. Lucy will be playable in 2025.
