The version of the fighting game for the hybrid console, trivially named Nintendo Switch Edition, will give players access to 28 fighters (heroes from the first three seasons), training and story modes, a cinematic story campaign and even online battles.
In the fourth season of Guilty Gear Strive, which launched on July 22, the gallery of characters will be replenished by Queen Dizzy (October 2024) and Venom (early 2025) from Guilty Gear X, as well as a completely new fighter for the series – Unica (2025).
Also appearing in Guilty Gear Strive as a guest character will be the mysterious netrunner Lucy (full name Lucina Kushinada), a key character in the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
The fighting game Guilty Gear Strive debuted in June 2021 on PC (Steam), PS4 and PS5, and in March 2023 it reached the Microsoft Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, S and Game Pass. The game will be released on the Nintendo Switch console on January 23, 2025.
