Guilty Gear: Strive version 2.00 update, Season 5 DLC characters Jam Kuradoberi and Robo=Ky announced

Arc System Works is releasing a major update, version 2.00, for the fighting game Guilty Gear: Strive on April 9th. This update will be available at the same time as the new downloadable character, Jam Kuradoberi, kicking off Season 5.

Robo-Ky will be added to the game as downloadable content this summer. We’ll also be adding two more new characters – one this winter and another in spring 2027, though we haven’t revealed who they are yet.

Season Pass 5 includes a new battle stage called “Cradled by the Four Beasts,” plus 28 new character colors (seven colors for each of the four new characters). It also features the “Street” wanted poster skin and the “Vintage Metal” battle UI skin.

Update 2.0 brings big changes to battles! You’ll find new mechanics like “Wild Assault” and “Counter Blitz,” plus fresh special moves and a new reward called “Haunted.” We’re also adding accessories, outfits, new looks for the battle screen, short stories, and a seasonal reward system called “Blazing Pass,” launching in May.
