Guilty Gear Strive Dual Rulers: Episode 1 at AWT 2024

In Guilty Gear Strive, the story mode operates like a self-contained anime, setting it apart from most fighting games. Unlike other games in this genre where players actively engage in battles, the story unfolds without your direct involvement in combat. Arc System Works has opted to share their game’s narrative as an independent anime series, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Title of the game is “Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers”. Its initial screening will take place only during the finals of the AWT 2024. The complete launch is scheduled for April 2025, and it can be accessed through Crunchyroll.

Venom Guilty Gear Strive: Gameplay Trailer at AWT 2024

Not only does the roster of characters in Guilty Gear Strive currently stretch quite far, but it continues to expand due to the game’s remarkable popularity. This allows the creators to continue updating and introducing new Seasons for players to enjoy.

Currently, we’re smack dab in the midst of Season 4. Queen Dizzy made her entrance into the game back in October 2024. The upcoming downloadable content character is Venom GGST, and his gameplay trailer is set to be unveiled at the AWT 2024 Global Finals.

Galleon in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising

Following a system restart, the fighting game set within the Granblue Fantasy universe embarked on its Season 2. The character Sandalphon made an appearance in late February. In the near future, Galeon GBVS Rising is slated for release during Spring 2025. Details about this upcoming DLC character might be revealed at the Arc World Tour 2025 Global Finals.

Arc World Tour 2025: Schedule and games

As soon as a competitive gaming series concludes, excitement builds within the community for the upcoming esports season. Important details about the Arc World Tour 2025 are expected to be revealed during these Global Finals.

The AWT 2025 schedule likely commences at Evo Japan 2025, marking the start of two major official leagues: Capcom Pro Tour 2025 for Street Fighter 6 and TEKKEN World Tour 2025 for TEKKEN 8. This event serves as a launchpad for both leagues.

Regarding the games at the Arc World Tour 2025, Guilty Gear Strive will definitely be included. There’s a possibility that GBVS Rising and UNI2 might return to the circuit, but since Arc System Works is only a joint developer for these games, we need to await official confirmation before we can confirm their participation.

Prior to the AWT 2025, we can anticipate some thrilling GGST, GBVS Rising, and UNI2 tournaments taking place. These games will be showcased at the Texas Showdown 2025, a large multi-game event running from March 28 to March 30.
