One enthusiastic fan commented, “I’m a big Cyberpunk fan, but I’ve only seen a couple episodes of ‘Edgerunners’ and don’t have a particular affection for Lucy. My interest lies mainly in how stunning ‘Guilty Gear Strive’ looks. It’s the game I tuned into watch at this year’s EVO, because although I have only a passing understanding of fighting games, its character design and animation are worth the effort of trying.”
In related news, Guilty Gear is also getting its own anime, “Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers,” which is set to release next year from Sanzigen Studio.
The new character Unika is said to be a key character from the show. A teaser trailer for the anime has been released, generating further excitement among fans. The Season Pass 4 is available for purchase starting today at £23, with the base game currently on sale at a 50% discount, priced at £18.49.
