Guilty Gear Strive’s second DLC character is Jack-O’ Valentine, an artificial life form who was first introduced in Guilty Gear X Plus, and she will be available to Season Pass 1 holders on August 27, 2021, before going on sale to all players on August 30.
While Jack-O’ was only part of Sol’s Ending in Guilty Gear X Plus, she made her playable debut in Guilty Gear XRD -Revelator- and also appeared in Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, as well as the novel Guilty Gear X Lightning the Argent.
Soon, she will be part of Guilty Gear Strive, and you can check out a first look at her gameplay here.
According to the official description, Jack-O’ is “an artificial life form fused with the protagonist Sol’s former love’s consciousness with high skills in combat and a powerful arsenal that allows her to overtake her opponent easily.”.
Goldlewis Dickinson was Guilty Gear Strive’s first DLC character, and Season Pass 1 will have three additional characters following Jack-O’, including one more in 2021 and two in 2022. 2022 will also bring with it two new battle stages and more story content to the game.
In our Guilty Gear Strive review, we said that it “sets a new standard for anime-like fighting games with its visuals, stellar netcode, and flexible fighting system that encourages and rewards creativity.”
