"GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-", the latest title in Arc System Works' "GUILTY GEAR" series, is scheduled for release in the fall of 2020 or later.
With the announcement of the PV and the release of the starter guide, preparations are steadily underway for the game's release, and I'm sure many fans are filled with anticipation.
And from April 17 to April 19, 2020, a closed beta test will be conducted!
Players who applied for the test were able to enjoy "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-" before it goes on sale, with only COM matches on the 17th and online matches on the 18th and 19th!
Seven characters were available for testing! Even Faust made his first appearance!
The seven characters available for this closed beta test are Sol, Kai, May, Axl, Chip, Potemkin and Faust.
Faust is available for the first time in this closed beta test! (Voices have not yet been implemented).
All of these characters have appeared in past titles, and there is no information on new characters at this time.
Let's wait for more information!

Nash Tajima also participated in the closed beta test!
Infrastructure Engineer "Nash Tajima" also participated in this test! Let's hear what he thought of the game.
Have you already played the closed beta test of "GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-"?
Of course I have. Nash is crazy about Chip.
He has a lot of options when he gets close to his opponent.
He's low on energy, but he has a lot of options to break up the opponent: command throw, middle throw, lower throw, etc. As long as he touches the opponent, he can create opportunities. His charm is that he can create opportunities as long as he touches his opponent.
His combos are short, but the damage he can do is quite impressive. I think the return is worth the risk of getting close to the opponent.
It was a great feeling when I was able to distract my opponent with a mid-to-lower throw and then get him into an awakening special move!
I think this is a character that tests a player's aggressiveness.
The online battle system is also unique and good. There are different tiers of lobbies for players to enter according to their own strength.
Beginners will be able to enjoy online matches without worrying about being placed in a lobby that is lower than their own strength.
I'm really looking forward to the release of the game. Can't wait to see the full version, Sushi! Sukiyaki! Banzai! I can't wait to experience it.
Nash was still very excited when we interviewed him.
He said that the best feeling he had while playing the game was when he landed a full combo from a mid-stage counter against a rampaging opponent.
It seems that Nash is looking forward to the release!
GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- is scheduled for release in the fall of 2020 or later!
