Los Angeles, California – Gamers eagerly anticipate the release of the character Venom in the popular game Guilty Gear Strive on March 24, 2025. This announcement was made during the Arc World Tour 2024 Finals before the top 8 players of the tournament.
Venom’s gameplay trailer showcased his unique abilities, where he strategically positions billiard balls on the screen using his weapon as a pool cue. This allows players to create intricate setups and bounce the balls around for strategic advantage. Fans of the Guilty Gear franchise will recognize similarities between Venom’s moveset and that of Robo-Ky, a previously playable character.
In addition to Venom’s gameplay reveal, Guilty Gear Strive producer Ken Miyauchi shared exciting updates for the game. Frame data will be accessible in training mode starting in May 2025, providing players with valuable information for honing their skills. A ranked match update is also on the horizon, set to roll out between June and August. This update will introduce a new matchmaking system that allows players to engage in ranked matches without navigating through online lobbies.
Furthermore, Guilty Gear Strive fans can look forward to new characters joining the roster. Unika, an original character, is scheduled for release in May, followed by Cyberpunk Edgerunners’ Lucy in the summer of 2025 as part of Season 4 content. An exclusive opportunity to play Unika early will be available at Evo Japan 2025, offering players a glimpse into the character’s unique abilities and playstyle.
With these exciting updates and new character additions, the Guilty Gear Strive community is buzzing with anticipation for the future of the game. Stay tuned for more information and updates as the release date for Venom approaches.
