Robo-Ky joins Guilty Gear Strive on July 2

gamingJun 27, 202624932

GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- just announced Robo-Ky as the next Season Pass 5 DLC fighter, with a trailer and a July 2, 2026 release date. The trailer foregrounds Robo-Ky’s outsized personality and slick animation, prompting posts praising how he “plays like Robo-Ky and acts like Robo-Ky” and converting skeptics who previously did not care for the character. Fans are zeroing in on the trailer’s specific beats, from the gag about a Hercules beetle powering him to a brief unicorn moment, and several longtime players say the reveal has pulled them back into Strive. The announcement has sparked excited, often profane celebrations and a handful of declarations that people are returning to the game because of Robo-Ky.
