Arc System Works has announced that Lucy, the elite netrunner from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, will officially join the character roster of Guilty Gear -Strive- on August 21, 2025. Her addition marks the final entry in the game’s Season Pass 4, following the recent release of Unika. Lucy will be available across all major platforms including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
Known for her standout presence in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Lucy enters the Guilty Gear universe as a high-mobility character with a distinct fighting style built around long-range hacking and agility. Her ability to manipulate the battlefield from a distance using debuffs and cyber-attacks enables a complex offensive approach that rewards strategic positioning and timing.
In combat, Lucy makes use of her signature monowire — a cybernetic whip-like weapon capable of restraining, slashing, and dismembering foes. Her refined movement and hacking-based tools make her particularly effective in the neutral game, allowing skilled players to outmaneuver opponents and control the pace of each round.
Outside the ring, Lucy is known for her enigmatic personality and unique aesthetic, featuring pastel-gradient hair and an icy demeanor that distances her from others. Despite her growing fame, little is known about her past. In the world of Cyberpunk 2077, she is a netrunner from Night City who once undertook a dangerous deep dive into the Net, an act typically reserved for the most elite of hackers. That event would lead her on a mysterious path, ultimately linking her with the world of Guilty Gear.
Lucy’s crossover appearance signals a broader trend of high-profile guest characters appearing in modern fighting games, blending distinct universes to appeal to both veteran fans and newcomers. Her arrival not only expands the Guilty Gear -Strive- roster but also celebrates the growing cultural footprint of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which gained critical acclaim upon release.
With Lucy now completing Season Pass 4, players can experience a full suite of new characters that have enriched Strive’s competitive and narrative offerings. Whether players are looking for her finesse-driven gameplay or simply wish to see their favorite netrunner in a new light, Lucy’s inclusion is a notable moment for the series.
Guilty Gear -Strive- is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
