With the successful release of\u00a0Guilty Gear Strive<\/strong>\u00a02.0<\/strong>, Arc System Works\u00a0seems more than ready to move\u00a0the franchise forward.\u00a0<\/strong>In an interview with\u00a0Famitsu<\/a>,\u00a0producer Ken Miyauchi\u00a0discussed\u00a0plans\u00a0to\u00a0continue the\u00a0franchise\u00a0and explore\u00a0what happens after the 2025 Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers anime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guilty Gear Strive has now entered its fifth year, and with the release of Ver. 2.00, I believe we\u2019ve finally reached the stage where we can start thinking about the series\u2019 next steps. We will continue the Guilty Gear series, and personally, I\u2019m eager to see a new story unfold. I hope to deliver developments that connect with the story so far, including the events depicted in the Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers anime. I\u2019d be delighted if you would enjoy the series, including these upcoming developments.\u201d<\/em><\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While moving the\u00a0franchise\u00a0forward consists of several steps, including gameplay tweaks\u00a0and graphical improvements for its fighting games,\u00a0Miyauchi\u00a0says he is\u00a0personally\u00a0eager to move Guilty Gear’s story forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Guilty<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unlike its Arcade mode, where bite-sized stories of individual characters are connected via a series of fights, Guilty Gear Strive\u2019s Story mode includes nine watchable main chapters (plus one side chapter) that focus on the story of Sol Badguy and a handful of his companions. Though the main story was able to showcase the game\u2019s beautiful cel-shaded graphics, the lack of interactivity made some players feel like they were watching an anime rather than playing a game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers, on the other hand, is an eight-episode anime series that takes place after the events of the main campaign but before the game\u2019s fourth season. It follows a new character, Unika<\/a>, and her connection to the rest of the main cast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The details of Guilty Gear\u2019s future\u00a0looks\u00a0to be tightly\u00a0under wraps\u00a0for now, but until the developers decide to unveil what they(re cooking up, Miyauchi\u00a0hopes\u00a0fans\u00a0will\u00a0continue to enjoy the\u00a0franchise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guilty Gear Strive is available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Windows (Steam<\/a>), Xbox One and Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and arcades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
