Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia and Arc System Works are excited to announce the arrival of a new playable character, Lucy, for their highly acclaimed 2.5D fighting game, Guilty Gear -Strive-, available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC via Steam, and Windows on August 21st.
Lucy excels at neutral due to her high mobility and long range. Debuff the opponent with her hacking skills to unleash a complex offense!
Lucy, the newest DLC character, will be available from August 21, 2025. She will also be available for anyone who owns Guilty Gear -Strive- Season Pass 4.
Lucy turns heads with her mysterious aura and pastel-gradient hair, but her icy attitude keeps most people at arm’s length.
Information on her is scarce, meaning her identity and past are largely unknown. In combat, she wields a monowire – a whip-like cybernetic weapon capable of restraining and even dismembering enemies. Agility and hacking skills also serve as formidable parts of her arsenal.
She is a netrunner based in Night City, a metropolis built upon the elusive promise of fame and fortune. While in search of information, she plunged into the Net on a “deep dive”, a method of accessing networks used only by the most talented hackers. Then something bizarre happened…
