Next Guilty Gear Strive DLC Character Is Elphelt

Ahead of The Game Awards 2023 Arc System Works announcement, Bandai Namco’s Asian branch revealed the next Guilty Gear Strive DLC character is Elphelt. Bandai Namco’s leak also noted that she is “available today,” with the article publish date being December 8, 2023.

This is one of the most requested characters for the game. Back in November 2023, Arc System Works noted Elphelt was often asked for by fans. She debuted in Guilty Gear Xrd Sign and also appeared in Revelator and Rev 2. Her “sisters” are Ramlethal and Jack-O. In the past, she was known for using guns.

Here is a closer look at some initial gallery images and character art:

A few other updates were mentioned in the Bandai Namco leak. One is that Axl Low and Potemkin are getting new special moves. It also confirmed a 3v3 Team of 3 mode will appear in 2024.

Elphelt will be the second person in Season Pass 3. The first is Johnny the Jellyfish Pirates Captain. He showed up on August 24, 2023. There will be four characters in this pass total, as well as two additional stages for players to fight on. Before that, Season Pass 2 ended with Asuka R. Kreutz.

The Guilty Gear Strive add-ons proved quite popular since launch. In fact, the Bridget DLC character ended up being the most popular one in a survey asking who players liked best. She was the number one for the Season 3 Survey. 

Guilty Gear Strive is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC, and Elphelt is the next DLC character in Season Pass 3. According to the leak, she’ll arrive on December 8, 2023.
