Anime fighting game fans will be getting more Guilty Gear Strive this year and the next.

Arc System Works announced during EVO 2022 that its Season Pass 2 DLC is underway, with a new(?) character joining the fray: the little yo-yo fighting boy Bridget. He fights with his yo-yo and with a scary bear that pops up for an assist from time to time. He’s classified as an all-round and easy-to-pick-up character with long-range attacks and mobility. Lore-wise, he’s a bounty hunter who was brought up and raised as a girl by rich superstitious parents.

Bridget is available on the roster later today, 8th August.

In addition, Arc System Works celebrates the first year of Guilty Gear Strive with a music video “Find Your One Way” which chronicles the Guilty Gear storyline, featuring the major battles Sol Badguy goes through in the 10 years he’s been around. It’s epic stuff; the studio behind all this animation is called Sanzigen.

Finally, Arc System Works announced that Guilty Gear Strive has surpassed 1 million units shipped worldwide.
