Updated on November 30 at 4:30 PM – Added purchase links for Happy Chaos DLC who is out now.
Earlier in the month, Arc System Works revealed Guilty Gear Strive‘s third DLC character from Season Pass 1 as Happy Chaos who is out now for Season Pass owners. The Guilty Gear Strive version 1.11 update will begin rolling out across platforms very soon with support for Happy Chaos, new room customization, and a lot more. Guilty Gear Strive from Arc System Works and Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe arrived on PS5, PS4, and PC via Steam earlier this year. It has since added Jack-O as DLC and Goldlewis Dickinson as DLC. If you’ve not gotten Guilty Gear Strive yet, it is one of the best games of the year. Read my review of the PS5 version here. Read my PS4 and PS5 comparison here. Watch the Guilty Gear Strive Happy Chaos gameplay showcase below:
