Guilty Gear -Strive-, the anime fighting game by Arc System Works, received a major patch just a few hours ago. Patch 1.21 went live on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC (Steam), which added a new character, Bridget, and several bug fixes.
Bridget - The Free-Form Tricky Spinner
Bridget is the first character of Season 2; players will need to spend some money to get her. You can purchase either Bridget DLC items or GGST Season Pass 2. Both of them will be available starting tomorrow.
You can check out the official website to learn more about the character.
Bridget Theme, Avatar Icons, and New BGM
Players will also receive Bridget’s Theme, The Town Inside Me, and several avatar items. They can select Bridget to listen to the theme, whereas the avatar items can be obtained via fishing. The patch adds a new BGM to the gallery mode as well. The GGXX Bridget’s theme, Simple Life, will only be accessible via fishing.
