Today is July 2nd and that makes it patch day for Arc System Works’s Guilty Gear Strive.
Hereโs how Arc System Works describes Robo-Ky:
Robo-Ky is a humanoid weapon developed in a laboratory run by the Post-War Administration Bureau, modeled after Ky Kiske. Although he may be a robot, he is quite the ladies man. The source of his power comes from a powerful beetle within him known as the Hercules Engine.
He loses his pride and joy, his body frame, in the battle with Bedman. Undeterred by this cruel twist of fate, however, he works to earn his repair fees by helping out at Venom’s bakery.
Reluctant to let things stay as they are, however…he has finally saved up enough money to obtain a body for himself (albeit on a rental plan). With his cool new suit and enthusiastic attitude, he barely resembles the original Ky he is modeled after.
And now he can pursue the dream he’s always held close.ย
The Robo-Ky trailer can be seen here:
Arcsys put out a starter guide for Robo-Ky
ahead of his release which can be seen here:
We knew that Robo-Ky was the second DLC character coming in Season 5. We got that teaser at Arc World Tour back in March. However, this version of Robo-Ky has been amazing to see, talk about a glow-up. I have been playing Guilty Gear Strive lately, but I have fallen back into Slayer as my comfort character. I wanted to love Jam, and I love Jam, but I cannot play AS Jam. I am eager to get my mitts on Robo-Ky and try out his play style.
For now, we can look upon his cute model. I mean, just look at him.




We also got access to his theme and we can listen to it here:
And with Robo-Ky’s release we get the new Blazing Pass as well:
