Joining Guilty Gear -Strive- as the first featured character of the game’s season pass, in addition to coming off the back of the game being confirmed as the “most successful instalment in the franchise with over 2,5 million players worldwide”, Arc System Works has confirmed that Johnny is now available in-game.
With katana in hand, this daring debonair pirate and his crew spend their days traveling the globe, caring for and defending the less fortunate. Johnny’s mastery of swordsmanship and notable strength will allow for players to get the upper hand using a variety of swift attacks. You can see him in-action via the trailer to the left.
Johnny is available now as the first character of the all-new Season Pass 3 for Guilty Gear -Strive-. Season Pass 3 will contain three other characters in addition to Johnny, along with two new battle stages, the Additional Colour Pack #3, and the Season Pass 3 Purchase Bonus (which contains additional costume colours). Expect to hear about whom will feature in this pass in the near future.
Guilty Gear -Strive-‘s third season comes with the development team introducing many updates and changes to the game, seeking to enhance the offline and online gaming experience. Among these changes are two new battle mechanics: Wild Assault, a powerful offensive maneuver which allows players to take the initiative and rush forward while attacking; and Deflect Shield, a defensive manoeuvre that creates considerable distance between the opponent while blocking their aggression. However, both techniques are a high-risk, high-reward gamble, utilising 50% of the Burst gauge upon activation.
Guilty Gear -Strive- is available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.
