Guilty Gear Strive – Next DLC Character and Stage Delayed to Early April

Arc System Works has announced a delay for Guilty Gear Strive’s next DLC character. Originally slated to launch in March, they’re now releasing in early April. Additional Stage #3 was also delayed to the same time frame “to provide the best quality possible.”

Both are part of Season Pass 2, which has added Bridget and Sin Kiske to the game as playable characters. While the developer hasn’t confirmed the third character’s identity, it teased Delilah, Bedman’s sister from the “Another Story” DLC. Time will tell, so stay tuned for more details.

Guilty Gear Strive is currently available for PS4, PS5 and PC. It’s coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC via the Microsoft Store in Spring while also launching on Game Pass. An open beta for cross-play between all platforms was recently held from February 3rd to 6th, providing access to all characters and modes (aside from Story Mode) to try out.

Stay tuned for more details on its release for Xbox, and check out our review for the base game here.

Important Notice:
The release of Additional Character #8 and Additional Stage #3, originally planned for March, will be delayed to early April in order to provide the best quality possible.
