<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Two nights ago at the Fighting Game Roundtable, Arc System Works announced two new characters to their upcoming title, Guilty Gear Strive. In addition to these new characters, a key piece of release information was also revealed. If you’ve been following closely, we’ve covered the closed beta in great detail, which you can read <a href="https://bagogames.com/guilty-gear-strive-closed-beta-impressions/">here</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Previously at BagoGames, we’ve covered reveal trailers of characters like <a href="https://bagogames.com/millia-and-zato-1-revealed-for-guilty-gear-strive-in-latest-video-trailer/">Zato-1 and Millia Rage</a>, and broke down the <a href="https://bagogames.com/guilty-gear-strive-developers-backyard-vol-1-released/">Developers’ Backyard</a> from a couple months ago. Today, let’s take a look at the Guilty Gear Strive Leo and Nagoriyuki trailers, both of which, you can watch below below (video credit: Xuses on YouTube).</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> </span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Leo and Nagoriyuki</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Leo Whitefang returns from previous title Guilty Gear Xrd: -SIGN-, as a base game character (he was a DLC character in the last entry). Leo had multiple appearances in -SIGN-’s story mode before becoming a playable character back in 2015. From his gameplay, he appears to retain his signature style of being a stance character and having multiple moves that switch sides with his opponent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Nagoriyuki, on the other hand, has had almost no publication or lore revealed about him as of yet. Aside from today’s gameplay, and being teased in the initial <a href="https://youtu.be/RVd6vhFhYiM">announcement trailer</a> (video credit: GameSpot Trailers) of the project, he’s a completely brand-new character to the series. From what was shown, Nagoriyuki utilizes his blade to deal damage with far-reaching strikes and absorbs something from the opponent after certain attacks.</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">But Wait, Release Info?</span></h3>

When it comes to new characters, the next announcement will be in “early October”. And the other two pieces are part of the overall big picture for release info.</span></p>
