Guilty Gear Strive Season 3

In a rather shocking surprise during the Arc World Finals, Arc System Works have confirmed that the last Season 2 character is launching in May, as well as confirmation that development on Guilty Gear Strive Season 3 Pass is underway.

Guilty Gear Strive DLC Character Teaser

There isn’t anything else outside of this teaser video that aired during the Bedman? DLC announcement, though fans have been quick to speculate that this character may, in fact, be Asuka, aka That Man and Gear Maker. He’s been a recurring character in the Guilty Gear franchise, with him only showing up in the story of Guilty Gear Strive. Judging from the book and the familiar attire the hand and arm have, we’d say that Asuka is a good guess. Luckily we won’t have long to wait!

With this being their final DLC drop for the season, many fans wonder what is next for Arc System Works and the Guilty Gear franchise. In addition to the confirmation of the new character drop, the team also confirmed at the event that they have begun work on Guilty Gear Strive’s season pass #3! 

Again, the details are very light, and nothing else was shared outside that confirmation. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long to hear about the new season. If we were to guess, we’d say EVO 2023 would be our best bet for any news.
