Arc System Works has officially revealed that Lucy, the fan-favorite character from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, is joining Guilty Gear -Strive- this summer as part of Season Pass 4. This marks the first-ever content crossover between the Guilty Gear franchise and CD PROJEKT RED’s Cyberpunk universe, signaling a bold new direction for the iconic fighting game series.
Unveiled with striking key art, Lucy's addition brings a cyberpunk edge to the cel-shaded, high-speed world of Guilty Gear -Strive-, which has now surpassed over 3 million global players across all platforms. Known for her speed, tech skills, and emotionally complex role in Edgerunners, Lucy promises to be a dynamic and potentially meta-shifting addition to the Guilty Gear roster.
