Guilty Gear Strive Season 4: New Team Mode, Characters, and a Cyberpunk Crossover!
Get ready for a massive 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. Let's dive into the details.
Arc System Works is revamping Guilty Gear Strive with a brand new 3v3 Team Mode. This innovative mode allows for 6-player team battles, creating complex strategies and exciting character combinations. Season 4 also welcomes back Dizzy and Venom from Guilty Gear X, alongside a new fighter, Unika, from the upcoming Guilty Gear Strive - Dual Rulers, and a truly unexpected guest: Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
This season promises fresh gameplay and a unique appeal for both veterans and newcomers.
The 3v3 Team Mode is a game-changer. Teams of three battle it out, demanding strategic team composition to leverage strengths and mitigate weaknesses. Each character also gains a unique "Break-In" – a powerful special move usable only once per match.
Currently, the 3v3 mode is in Open Beta, providing players a chance to experience and offer feedback.

Making a triumphant return from Guilty Gear X, Queen Dizzy sports a regal new look and promises significant story implications. Her versatile blend of ranged and melee attacks makes her a highly adaptable fighter. Expect her arrival in October 2024.
The master of billiard ball mayhem, Venom, also returns from Guilty Gear X. His unique gameplay revolves around strategic ball placement, adding a new layer of tactical depth to Strive. Prepare for his arrival in Early 2025.
Unika, hailing from the anime adaptation Guilty Gear Strive - Dual Rulers, is the newest addition to the roster. Look for her in 2025.
The crown jewel of Season 4 is Lucy, the first guest character in Guilty Gear Strive! This exciting crossover with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners marks a significant moment for the game.
