Out of all the new characters to be announced for Guilty Gear Strive<\/em> at EVO 2024, I don\u2019t think Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners<\/em> was on anyone\u2019s bingo card.\u00a0<\/p>

In a now private video<\/a>, Arc System Works revealed a new three-versus-three mode, new stages<\/a>, and four new characters including fan favorites Dizzy and Venom as well as Unika from the upcoming Guilty Gear Strive<\/em> anime.<\/a> But most surprising of all is a guest character: Lucy.<\/p>

We here at Destructoid love Edgerunners<\/em><\/a> \u2013 it has a gripping story that expands the Cyberpunk<\/em> world in whole new directions and just has some phenomenal characters. Lucy is an odd addition to the world of Guilty Gear<\/em>, but in the grand scheme of things it isn\u2019t all that weird.<\/p>

Guilty Gear<\/em> has similar themes and visuals to the world of Edgerunners<\/em>, with bombastic over-the-top artwork and individualist ideas. Both Arc System Works and Studio Trigger are known for their flashy action, so I think Lucy will fit well into the roster.<\/p>

We won\u2019t see Lucy playable until 2025, so we\u2019ll have to wait a while until we get to see her in action and how she fits. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
