IGN first reported that a trailer for Guilty Gear Strive Season 4, which includes new characters that will appear over the next year, has leaked earlier than the planned release date. The featured character to be added to the fighting game is Lucy, one of the main characters from the anime “Cyberpunk: Edge Runners” and Strive's first guest fighter. The original trailer upload appears to have already been taken down, but can be seen on YouTube via GamersPrey.

Lucy is effectively Edgerunners' second protagonist, an experimental augmented hacker who fights with a laser whip implanted in her wrist, basically a perfect fit for a fighting game like Guilty Gear Strive. She is the furthest from release of the four new characters, and the trailer only includes a promo shot of “Edgerunners” itself: how she will look in the game with Strive's unique animations, or whether Arc System Works will design, we don't really know if she'll be tweaked or not. The other three Season 4 characters, in order of scheduled release:

Lucy will be Guilty Gear Strive's first guest fighter, but this is not the first time CD Projekt Red has lent one of its iconic characters to a fighting game. The Witcher's Geralt of Rivia appeared in 2016 in a perfect crossover with Soulcalibur 6, and his model and attention to detail in the animation were impressive, as was his fidelity to The Witcher 3 game. Judging by this treatment, CD Projekt and Arc System Works will work closely together to make Lucy's guest spot a real knockout.
