GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-, the first fighting game booster in years, releases on November 28, 2025 with prereleases beginning on November 21. This set brings the hard-hitting roster, over-the-top visuals, and signature rock ‘n’ roll energy of the franchise to the tabletop.
Set Overview
GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- introduces over 80 new cards with new characters, a new keyword, and a new gameplay mechanic that brings a new edge to the game.

A filled Tension meter unlocks new abilities called “Roman Cancel,” which range from explosive combos to safe retreats and resets. This new mechanic keeps battles fast and unpredictable.
