Arc System Works has announced the release date for Guilty Gear Strive Season Pass 2 alongside its first DLC character, Bridget. The Second Season and Bridget will be released on August 8.
At EVO, Arc System Works’ previously announced Season Pass 2 for Guilty Gear Strive begins with the launch of Bridget, the yo-yo’ing attacker. This is the character’s first playable appearance since Guilty Gear XX Core Plus R.
Alongside the playable new character, Bridget will come with two new battle stages and a second color pack. Arc System describes Bridget as an “easy to pick up” character with both long-range attacks and excellent movement.
Guilty Gear Strive Season Pass 2 will feature 4 new characters in total, so expect three more characters to be added in the future.
Guilty Gear Strive is the latest game in Arc System Works’ popular fighting game series and the studio recently announced that it has surpassed 1 million units worldwide. It is the first game in the Guilty Gear series to achieve this milestone.
To celebrate, Arc System Works has released a new original music video for Sol Badguy’s theme. Additionally, starting on August 8, Guilty Gear Strive’s standard edition will be available for a new lower price of $39.99.
