The rock witch I-No returns from Guilty Gear Xrd and closes the initial template for a game that will soon be available on PC, PS4 and PS5.
There is little left for the premiere of Guilty Gear Strive and at Arc System Works they do not want to leave anything to chance. The game, with versions on PC, PS4 and PS5, is dated April 9 (April 6 for the Deluxe and Ultimate versions) and is currently in open beta on Sony consoles. This beta was going to end today, but the company has announced that it will be extended a couple of days, until February 23, so that people continue to acclimate to the new installment. It is news that is accompanied by the return of I-No, the last character announced and that closes an initial squad of 15 fighters.

Raised by Arc Systems more as a reboot than as a simple sequel, to the first-rate audiovisual display, Strive will add the brand gameplay of the house – accessible, but with depth – a seamless online service thanks to the rollback netcode, a story mode to also enjoy solo and texts translated into Spanish. Users who purchase it for PS4 and get PS5 later – in case stock problems affect them – will benefit from improvements, so everything seems ready to make it a new fighting classic.
