The PS5 Version of Guilty Gear -STRIVE- will Feature an Exclusive Multiplayer Tag / Assist Mode

  

It's been confirmed the PlayStation 5 version of Guilty Gear -STRIVE- will include an exclusive Multi-player Battle Mode that features either a Tag-Team or Assist mechanic. The most recent official trailer (below) shows a snippet of Ky Kiske attacking alongside Sol-Badguy to finish a short (but sweet) combo — the only gameplay of the mode shown thus far. Furthermore, the PlayStation store leaked a (now-deleted) description of GGStrive listing the Multi-player Battle Mode as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Below is a screenshot of the description that was temporarily posted on the PlayStation online store:
 

 
The new mechanic can be seen briefly at the 40-second mark of the trailer below.
 

 

To clarify, it's unclear whether this mode is a 2-vs-2 tag mode (for 2-players or potentially 4-player-enabled matches) - or simply an Assist / Striker system. Considering GGStrive's incredible graphics engine and use of dynamic camera angles, it would be understandable that this Multi-player mode can only run smoothly on Sony's next-gen system (and not on PS4). Whether or not this mode will be available in the Steam version is unknown.
 

The good news is... players who do pick up the PlayStation 4 version of Guilty Gear -STRIVE- will automatically get a FREE upgrade to the PS5 version. Arc System Works also confirmed online cross-play between PS4 and PS5 players. Also, pre-orders are live.

Guilty Gear -STRIVE- will release on PS5, PS4, and Steam in April 2021.
