Arc System Works did not reveal the DLC character’s identity and the stage. A reveal may come at ARCREVO World Tour 2022 Final this March. However, Arc System Works tends to reveal DLC character close to their actual release date. In fact, many fighting game developers including French Bread and Capcom prefer to reveal DLC character in close proximity to their release.
Guilty Gear Strive recently held its cross-platform network test on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms from February 3 to 6. The test allowed players to battle each other on different platforms before a major update arrives with cross-platform play support.
Guilty Gear Strive is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. Lastly, Guilty Gear Strive releases this spring for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
