Check out the official details on both, alongside screenshots provided by Arc System Works to MP1st ahead of the event.
Guilty Gear Strive Bedman? Trailer
Guilty Gear Strive Next Season 2 Character: Bedman?
Release Date: April 6
Price: Standalone DLC purchase – $6.99, included in Season Pass 2 ($24.99)
Info from the press release:
Bedman was a technical trickster first playable in Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- who ultimately lost his life. Using his machine bed, Bedman’s strategy was to frustrate and confuse opponents, stay evasive to find openings, and enforce deadly blows using an arsenal of automated techniques.
Following his death, Bedman’s bed continues to act independently during Guilty Gear -Strive- through the program he entered in his last moments. The now reawakened Delilah descends into the real world through the Absolute World created by Bedman in his dying moments and recovers her brother’s bed. Now Delilah’s protector, the bed (“Bedman?”) is always at her side. “Bedman?’ (with Delilah) will arrive as the 8th playable DLC character and 23rd playable character overall in Guilty Gear -Strive-. Season 2’s final unannounced DLC playable character will be revealed later this year.
If you didn’t catch that, this character isn’t the same Bedman we saw in Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-, but instead, his bed? Which is also protecting Delilah, Bedman younger sister.
