Arc System Works has announced a major update coming to GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- Version 2.00 is set to launch on April 9, and it’s bringing a lot of new content to the popular fighting game. The first Season 5 DLC character arriving with the update is Jam Kuradoberi, a familiar face for longtime fans of the series. Following her on the roster will be Robo=Ky, who is set to arrive sometime this summer. Two more characters are also in the pipeline, one coming this winter and another in spring 2027, though neither has been revealed yet.
Alongside the new characters, Season Pass 5 includes a new battle stage called “Cradled by the Four Beasts,” as well as 28 additional character colors spread across the four new characters (seven colors each). The pass also comes with two cosmetic skins: a wanted poster skin called Street and a battle UI skin called Vintage Metal. A new seasonal reward system called “Blazing Pass” is also coming, though that feature won’t go live until May. Players can also look forward to a new play reward called Haunted.
