They say that when one door closes, another can open immediately. At the end of August, the fighting game Guilty Gear -Strive- will leave the Game Pass subscription, which will inevitably lead to a reduction in the player base. However, today, Nintendo announced that the popular fighting game will become available on the Switch. The release date is set for January 23, 2025. The developers also released a special trailer:

What else is known about the project? It will use rollback netcode, which has become the standard for fighting games when it comes to online matches. However, Nintendo Switch players will not be able to play against Xbox or PlayStation players, meaning cross-play, unfortunately, is not an option.

The Switch version will feature all 28 existing characters. It’s unclear how quickly the game will receive updates compared to other versions. It’s worth noting that Arc System Works has already announced four new characters for next year, including Lucy, the heroine from the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
