Story
After defeating the threat known as the Universal Will, Sol Badguy enjoyed a brief moment of peace...
Until he heard the shocking news.
Asuka R. Kreutz, known as "That Man" who left his mark as the worst criminal in all of history by creating Gears and initiating the Crusades, surrendered to the U.S. government.
The man who turned him into a Gear... while Sol now sought revenge on him, he was once a close friend.
Trying to guess Asuka's true intentions, Sol stood up with his weapon in hand.
...The time had come at last to settle his fate with Asuka R. Kreutz!
What is happening now
Guilty Gear -Strive- is a stylish 2D fighting game that has carved out a sustained presence in the competitive scene since its 2021 release. The game continues to benefit from ongoing support, including the launch of an official anime short series that expands its lore and characters. The first episode focuses on Erica Bartholomew in a comedic take on her role as Chief of Staff to the U.S. President.
The game has proven resilient in an increasingly fragmented fighting game landscape, where players typically rotate between multiple titles rather than committing exclusively to one. Strive's ability to maintain a dedicated playerbase speaks to its appeal, even as the broader competitive community's habits have shifted away from the single-game devotion of previous eras.
