Slayer Makes His Mark in Guilty Gear -Strive- with New Battle Stage Unveiled
Arc System Works just dropped the latest scoop at EVO Japan 2024, stirring up the Guilty Gear -Strive- universe with a double whammy announcement. The vampire of high repute, Slayer, will be joining the roster as the final Season 3 character starting May 30. Accompanying him is the dazzling new battle stage, Amber Fest with Kind Neighbors, setting the scene for epic showdowns.
Enter Slayer: The Vampire with a Taste for Battle
Priced at $6.99, Slayer can be yours unless you’re already rocking the Season Pass 3, which bundles him up with the rest of the season’s offerings for $24.99. This dapper vampire steps into the arena on multiple platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Steam, Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows.
Slayer isn’t your average vampire. Exuding a cool, collected vibe with a touch of dandyism, he brings a unique flair to the battlefield. His ability to shift the tempo and rush down opponents with a mix of powerful moves makes him a formidable foe. Despite his seemingly relaxed attitude, Slayer’s strength is nothing short of overwhelming.
His backstory is as rich as his gameplay. A former head of the Assassin’s Guild and a lover of haikus, Slayer now enjoys a quiet life with his immortal wife, Sharon. They indulge in the simpler joys of life, like people-watching, far removed from his tumultuous past.
Amber Fest with Kind Neighbors: A Stage Set for Gratitude
The new battle stage is more than just a visual treat. Amber Fest with Kind Neighbors brings players to a town previously featured in Another Story from Season Pass 1. Here, the townsfolk are gearing up to show their appreciation for the heroes who saved them, decking out their surroundings with vibrant, eye-catching light-up decorations. This stage is a heartfelt tribute to the players and characters alike, celebrating the spirit of community and heroism.
