guilty gear producer teases lucy from cyberpunk in evo 2024

Guilty Gear Strive continues to thrive in its fourth year of content updates. At Evo 2024, Arc System Works announced the addition of three characters: Dizzy, Venom, Unika, and a guest character, Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Producer Ken Miyauchi shared insights on this collaboration and mentioned that although they've been in talks with CD PROJEKT RED since 2023, they haven't collaborated directly with Studio Trigger. Additionally, Strive will feature a new 3-on-3 mode where teams play simultaneously. The season 4 update will include character balance adjustments and tweaks to universal mechanics like burst meter gain and Roman Canceling. Fans eagerly await the inclusion of beloved gameplay features like Insta-Kills, which, although challenging to implement, remain a key identity of the Guilty Gear series.

The 3-on-3 mode in Guilty Gear Strive features real-time interaction where all team members can play at the same time. Instead of traditional 1v1 combat, one main role and two assist roles are formed, allowing assist players to select skills to interact in battle, switch with the main player, or participate under certain conditions.

Guilty Gear Strive, developed by Arc System Works, is known for its unique mechanics and strong community support. Since its release in June 2021, it has maintained high engagement, particularly in competitive scenes like Evo. The game is lauded for its intricate character designs and rich story arcs, which continue to evolve with each update, keeping the player base invested and excited about future developments.
