Guilty Gear Strive enthusiasts should circle March 23 on their calendars because that’s when the full trailer for Venom, the latest addition to the fighter lineup, will finally debut. Released in 2021, Guilty Gear Strive continues to capture the excitement of fans thanks to the constant efforts of Arc System Works to keep the game fresh and engaging with regular updates.
The journey of adding new content to Guilty Gear Strive kicked off back in 2021. The game introduced a slew of memorable fighters like Goldlewis, Jack-O’, Happy Chaos, Baiken, and Testament during its inaugural season. As the game evolved, other characters made their appearance as well, including Bridget, Bedman?, and Sin Kiske, the son of Ky Kiske. The recent additions include Johnny, Elphelt, A.B.A, Slayer, and Queen Dizzy, Sin Kiske’s mother, which kept players on their toes. Now, with the dawn of a new season, players are ready to welcome more updates and characters.
Building the excitement, Guilty Gear Strive has just teased the first glimpse of Venom, confirming that his complete trailer will be showcased on March 23. This trailer launch is set to be a highlight at the Arc World Tour finals in Los Angeles, where the 2024 champion will be crowned. Venom’s introduction was delayed initially, as developers prioritized enhancing the quality of the gaming experience.
### Who is Venom, the Next Fighter to Join Guilty Gear Strive?
Venom is no stranger to the Guilty Gear universe. He first appeared in Guilty Gear X and is known for his distinct long white hair adorned with a blue eye. His combat style is unique, wielding a pool cue, with several billiard-themed moves. Although Venom last featured as a playable character in Guilty Gear Xrd, he was seen making a cameo in the epilogue of Guilty Gear Strive, where he and Robo-Ky run a bakery and receive visitors Millia and Zato.
Venom’s addition signals the beginning of Guilty Gear Strive Season 4, which also promises the arrival of new characters. Players can look forward to playing Unika in Spring 2025. It’s her first appearance in the Guilty Gear series, though she will also star in the highly anticipated Guilty Gear -Strive- Dual Rulers anime. Fans of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime will be delighted to hear that Lucy is set to make her debut in the summer of 2025, though the exact date remains unconfirmed.
