Dizzy, the rebellious commander and daughter of Justice, joined the Guilty Gear: Strive roster on October 31, 2024, as the third character in the game’s Season Pass 4. Developer Arc System Works confirmed the release date alongside a gameplay trailer showcasing her unique "Necro and Undine" combat style.
Who is Dizzy in Guilty Gear: Strive?
Dizzy is a returning fan favorite from previous entries in the series. According to official character profiles from Arc System Works, she maintains her signature ability to command two guardians: the aggressive Necro and the protective Undine. In Guilty Gear: Strive, her mechanics have been retooled to fit the game’s faster, more aggressive combat flow while retaining her projectile-heavy zoning playstyle.
Players who own the Season Pass 4 content received immediate access to the character upon her October 31 launch. The character is also available for individual purchase on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
How does Season Pass 4 work?
Season Pass 4 represents the latest phase of post-launch support for Guilty Gear: Strive. As outlined by Arc System Works, the pass includes a total of four playable characters. The release schedule for the pass is as follows:
- Queen Dizzy: Released October 31, 2024.
- Venom: Announced for early 2025.
- Unika: Announced for Spring 2025.
- Lucy (from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners): Announced for Summer 2025.
The pass also grants access to additional battle stages, character colors, and the "Premium Color Pack" for all characters.
Why the shift in release timing?
Initial community speculation regarding character releases often points to mid-year windows, but Arc System Works shifted the Guilty Gear: Strive development timeline to accommodate a more ambitious roadmap for 2024 and 2025. While earlier rumors suggested different character drops for the summer of 2024, the studio confirmed the October date for Dizzy to align with major competitive events and the conclusion of the game’s 2024 tournament circuit.
This release marks a significant milestone for the title, as it introduces the "Queen" version of the character, reflecting her narrative evolution within the Guilty Gear universe following the events of Guilty Gear Xrd.
