Venom Joins the Roster: Guilty Gear: Strive DLC Character Launches on March 24

Fans of the beloved fighting game franchise are in for a treat as Venom, a classic character reimagined, makes his much-anticipated return in *Guilty Gear: Strive*. Audiences can look forward to his launch on March 24, a date already marked on the calendars of fighting game enthusiasts.

Character Overview

Voiced by Junichi Suwabe in Japanese and Howard Wang in English, Venom is characterized as a gentle giant with a strong moral compass. His approach to dialogue is marked by a unique rigidity which indicates his preference for reason, although he profoundly values emotions, empathy, and humility. This complexity makes him not just a formidable fighter but also a relatable character.

Character Backstory

Venom's journey is rather captivating. Following a fierce battle against the notorious Bedman, the leader of the Assassin's Guild, Venom seemingly meets his demise. However, in a twist of fate, his life is spared by Robo-Ky, setting Venom on a new path. To cover the costs of his repairs, he begins taking on various jobs until his friend Zato gifts him a bakery, invoking a fresh start for the once-mighty assassin.

Embracing this new vocation as a baker, Venom discovers a different kind of "battle." He becomes deeply attached to the townspeople, who engage in their personal struggles not for the sake of violence, but out of pride. This fuels Venom's determination to protect their "battlefield," leading him to adopt a dual life—baker by day, and the enigmatic avenger known as "Phantom" by night.
