Arc System Works has announced that Guilty Gear Strive DLC fighter Slayer will launch next month on 30 May 2024. He can be purchased separately or as part of the game’s Season Pass 3, of which he will be the final DLC fighter.

Slayer is a gentlemanly descendent of vampiric lineage, who enjoys genuine combat and haiku as hobbies. He abides by his own code of “dandyism” and can take nearly anything in stride. When it comes to battle, however, he wields overwhelming strength in great contrast to his calm demeanour. Due to his lifespan as a vampire, all events in human society feel trivial to him.

That’s only one facet of him, however, as he finds humans and their turbulent emotions in response to such affairs both enviable and endearing. He founded the Assassin’s Guild, only to retire after meeting his immortal wife, Sharon. Currently, he enjoys an untroubled life in retirement with Sharon, occasionally venturing out for some people watching.

Guilty Gear Strive is now available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
