Guilty Gear: Strive fans can look forward to the arrival of Venom, a downloadable content character, launching on March 24 for $6.99 / 880 yen. This announcement comes from Arc System Works, further expanding the game’s colorful roster.
The official overview from the game’s website details Venom’s character:
Venom (voiced by Junichi Suwabe in Japanese, Howard Wang in English)
- Easy to Use: ★☆☆☆☆
A gentle and honest man, Venom struggles to lie. His speech is rigid, reflecting his preference for reason; however, he holds emotion and empathy in high regard. Following his death during a battle with Bedman, leader of the Assassin’s Guild, Robo-Ky saves him, leading to a new chapter where he opens a bakery.
This new life brings its own challenges as he learns about a different kind of “battle” — one where townsfolk strive for pride rather than violence. Determined to protect their “battlefield,” Venom takes on the dual role of baker by day and mysterious punisher known as “Phantom” by night.
Guilty Gear: Strive is currently available across multiple platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. You can purchase it via Steam or other major retailers.
