Did you expect someone else?
Are you adequately prepared to rock? In something out of the ordinary, Arc System Works revealed GG veteran and hard rockin ‘baby I-No is the final character participating in the release of Incoming Fighter Guilty Gear Strive. I-No was unveiled this morning during the second live stream of Japan Fighting Game Roundtable.
Debuted as the main character in 2002s Guilty equipment XX, I-No quickly became one of the most popular and recognizable characters of the amazing fighting franchise. A femme fatale in the true sense of the term, I-No, uses sexuality, threat, manipulation, cunning and psychological torment to achieve her goal while constantly turning heads with her wild witch-meets-glamor metal sense.
While most of the Guilty Gear Strive cast received something of a visual overhaul, I-No looks mostly unchanged, but still wobbles her platform boots, tight hat, cool bob-cut and leather ensemble, though she cradles a lovely pair of yellow shades. Of course, her enchanted guitar, Marlene, is also back, finely tuned and ready to wow her fans and destroy her enemies. While there are very characters that could fill this last grid, many GG fans would have had this mistress of metal fixed in their set lists. It simply would not have been the same without her.
Guilty Gear Strive launches April 9 on PS4, PS5 and PC. The open beta continues today on PlayStation platforms (though I-No will unfortunately not be part of it).
