Testament Returns In Guilty Gear Strive With Second Season Of Characters Coming Later

Arc System Works' tournament Arc Revo America has come to the end, and with it brings plenty of announcements for the future of Guilty Gear Strive and more.

Set on the grounds of the Presidential Residence of the United States after the events of Strive's story mode, the building is being rebuilt and «has already been restored to its position as the center of the government.»

Strive players will only have a short wait to get their hands on Testament and the new White House Reborn stage because they'll be available starting on March 28 for PS5, PS4, and PC Season Pass owners and for à la carte purchase on PC only. PlayStation players can purchase them separately on March 31. 

Also coming on March 28 is Digital Figure Mode, which allows players to place characters, furniture, effects, and more into scenes that can be shared with others online. Character's facial expressions can be changed as well, image filters can be applied, and camera angles can be altered to add even more creative control to the mode.
