Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to join Guilty Gear -Strive-

Part of Season Pass 4 updates

Published

on

In a historic first, CD Projekt RED and Arc System Works have announced that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ Lucy will be joining Guilty Gear -Strive- as the franchise’s first ever guest character.

The announcement was made during the final day of EVO 2024, where the fighting game has long been a mainstay. The game developer also released a trailer showing everything coming to the game under Season Pass 4. Lucy will enter the ring as the season’s final character in 2025.

Towards the end of the trailer, one of the main Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime character was revealed. In the anime series, Lucy is a mysterious and quite introverted netrunner from Night City. She is a combat-ready hacker capable of handling herself in encounters, so it is already interesting to see how that translates to the side-scrolling fighting scene.

The skill set for Guilty Gear Lucy will be a result of a close cooperation between the game developer and the series producers from CD Projekt Red. Content release timing will be announced later this year.

Season Pass 4

Aside from Lucy’s addition, Season Pass 4 features a new online mode, new stages, and returning characters. Queen Dizzy will be available in October 2024, while Venom is due to arrive in early 2025. Also coming in 2025 is Unika of the Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers anime series.

The “Team of 3” mode will get an Open Beta Test starting July 26, 2024. As the mode’s name suggests, it will pit six players against each other in a single match via online versus. Players will fight based on their assigned roles (Main or Assist). Assists can perform various actions and skills to support Mains. Moreover, their positions can be changed during the fight.

To top it all off, there will be an additional color pack and a premium color pack consisting of 31 character colors, one for each.

-Strive-, the fighting game’s latest installment, is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.

Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.

By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.

(The driver can be downloaded here.)

The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.

Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.

Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.

Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.

if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
