Guilty Gear Strive Patch Adds US Secretary of Defense Goldlewis Dickinson and Various Bugfixes

Guilty Gear Strive is giving fans some proper American representation by adding a new character to the series named Goldlewis Dickinson, the United States Secretary of Defense who sports a set of laser glasses and wields a massive coffin labeled “Area 51.” Additionally, the patch includes various bugfixes and additions to the game, including the ability to queue up as a spectator in the Duel Station.

Goldlewis Dickinson is the latest character added to Guilty Gear Strive and is also an entirely new character to the series. Arc System Works teased the character previously and mentioned in their Season 1 roadmap that several new playable characters would be added post-launch. According to the announcement, the studio is planning on adding a character from one of their past titles in August, as well as three other characters in fall 2021.

Dickinson’s abilities revolve around the use of his massive coffin, which houses an unidentified being named U.M.A.. The being helps Dickinson by punching opponents and handing him various items and weapons from inside the coffin, such as spiked mines and even a Gatling gun. He also has a Security Gauge that changes the strength of the items he receives depending on what level it’s at. Players can unlock the character by purchasing the Season Pass 1 or wait until July 30, 2021, to purchase the character individually.

Below is a list of the patch’s various bugfixes and new features:
