Arc System Works has announced Sin Kiske, a new DLC character for Guilty Gear: Strive, as part of Season Pass 2. The character will launch on November 24. A trailer for the character was also released. Season Pass 2 will also feature two more characters alongside two new battle arenas in 2023. Guilty Gear: Strive is available now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam.
Sin Kiske’s character description via the game’s website can be seen below:
Chasing down his prey with his far-reaching flag.
Ever-growing wild boy.
He is the child of Ky Kiske, Allied King of Illyria, and Dizzy, a half-Gear, making him one-quarter Gear. Ky entrusted him to Sol as a child to avoid unwanted attention due to his incredible rate of growth caused by his Gear blood.
Sol’s education leaned a bit too far into survival (self-admittedly), leading to Sin now being strong but mischievous and somewhat lacking in the academic department.
Despite his looks, he’s actually not even ten years old yet, and is still rather immature mentally. He’s optimistic and doesn’t think too deeply about things. He could be called clueless at worst, and innocent at best. His simplistic thinking, however, can lead to a breakthrough in handling situations at times.
