We now have the full roster, the list of all characters playable in Guilty Gear Strive at launch.At the 2nd Annual Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable, Arc System Works revealed I-no is the 15th character included from the get go in Guilty Gear Strive (PS4, PS5, PC via Steam). A season pass has already been announced, and can be preordered alongside the game. Meaning more characters will be coming in the long run. The trailer for I-no and some screenshots are included below.In Guilty Gear Strive, I-no is still voiced by legendary seiyuu Kikuko Inoue, I-no as always acts high and mighty, and considers all humans to be inferior to herself. Including "That Man", the person she's working for. Her costume is pretty similar to her past apparitions, focusing on sex-appeal. Ishiwatari thought up her new nickname: Hard Rock Witch, and explained I-no has been reworked for Strive. While she was revealed now, I-no will not be joining the ongoing Beta.

Guilty Gear Strive will be launching on April 9, 2021. The ongoing Open Beta Test has also been extended till February 23. As the servers have been going through several downtimes. Many players would be frequently kicked out of the server as well. There's virtually no lag though thanks to rollback netcode. Personally speaking, I believe Guilty Gear Strive is definitely on the way to becoming the most successful game of the series in terms of sales. Now to wait and see how the final game will turn out.
