Guilty Gear Strive ‘Another Story’ DLC drops next week

Now with 100% more Baiken

Guilty Gear Strive season pass owners might want to stock up on popcorn* this weekend, as Arc System Works has announced that it will be dropping the “Another Story” DLC expansion on PC and PlayStation exactly one week from now: Friday, April 29.

As opposed to the recent GG Strive DLC drops — that have brought us a bevy of fantastic new characters, colors, and stages — “Another Story” is simply an extension to Strive‘s whacked-out story mode. The new chapters, which run parallel to the main timeline, will give us a glimpse of what the remainder of the roster was doing while Sol Badguy, Giovanna, Goldlewis Dickinson, That Man, and co. were farting about in Washington D.C.

The new story chapters will feature fan favorites such as the ethereal Ramlethal, the happy-go-lucky May, as well as stoic samurai swordswoman Baiken. We will also meet a mysterious child, Delilah whose sinister history ties into Bedman and the Universal Will’s previous efforts to destroy mankind. Curious. The Another Story DLC is an exclusive download for all Guilty Gear Strive season pass owners, it will not be made available for purchase separately.

The arrival of Testament last month brought an end to Strive‘s first run of DLC characters. But with EVO, Arcrevo World Tour, and a huge player community, the wild adventures of the GG crew are far from over, and the smart money is on a second season pass being announced sometime this summer.

Guilty Gear Strive is available now on PlayStation and PC.
