Arc System Works announced the development of Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers, an anime adaptation based on the latest entry in the fighting game series. A key visual art was revealed featuring Sol Badguy and Sin Kyske, as well as an unknown new female character.
Note: The story includes minor spoilers for the plot of Guilty Gear Strive.
The first teaser trailer for the upcoming Guilty Gear Strive anime series, as well as a panel session with GGST Producer Ken Miyauchi, anime series composer Norimitsu Kaiho, and anime associate producer Seiji Mizushima will be held at the Anime Expo 2024 event, which will be held between July 4-7, 2024 in Los Angeles.
At the time of writing, it is unknown if the anime will be a retelling of the latest game in the series, or if it will feature an original story that follows the ending of the latest video game. However, the new key visual depicts Sol Badguy without wearing his Gear Cell Suppressor bandana as he was seen at the end of Guilty Gear Strive, which might hint towards the anime adaptation possibly being a sequel.

The Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers anime series is currently in development with no known release date. Guilty Gear Strive is readily available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Windows PC, and Slayer is the latest DLC character to appear.
