Guilty Gear Strive was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Windows in June 2021. It is also planned for release on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in early 2023. The game is the seventh mainline installment of the Guilty Gear series and the 25th overall.
It is meant to be a “complete reconstruction” of the series, however, it does not include the Instant Kill mechanic. It adds the “Wall Break” feature, which enables stage changes when a combo is started in the arena’s corner.
