The Evo 2022 event for Guilty Gear Strive fans was a pretty awesome experience, as Arc System Works has announced some upcoming content coming to the game, including a new playable character, Bridget.
He will be the first DLC character in Season Pass 2, and this will be his first playable appearance in the series since Guilty Gear XX Core Plus R.
The new character will be released later today, August 8, 2022, and will come with two new battle stages, as well as a second color pack.
According to Arc System Works, Bridget will be another “easier to pick up” character, and players new to Guilty Gear Strive will be able to pick her up due to her long-range attacks and excellent mobility.
The title’s Season Pass 2 will also feature a total of four new characters, with Bridget dropping today and the other three being added in the future.

Bridget brings a yo-yo to Guilty Gear Strive, and as one of the series’ most accessible characters, she’s been a fan favorite since her debut in Guilty Gear X2. The developers conducted a poll in 2013, where fans of the franchise voted her the most popular character in the Guilty Gear series.
So it’s not that surprising that he’s the first DLC character that Arc System Works decided to introduce as a playable character for Season Pass 2.
With Bridget’s reveal a couple of hours ago at Evo 2022, the developers have also provided a good look at their planned roadmap for 2022 and then towards 2023. After Bridget drops later today, the second scheduled fighter will launch sometime this year as part of the second season.
However, the third and fourth fighters are scheduled to drop in 2023, along with two new battle stages.

To celebrate the new DLC, Arc System Works has also released a new original music video for Sol Badguy’s theme song. Also, starting today, the Guilty Gear Strive Standard Edition will be available at a discounted price of $39.99.
With Bridget finally making it to the character roster, it will be quite interesting to see who is added to the title later this year.
Coming soon!
