The majority of the trailer showcases Lucy’s in-game moveset, which features her Monowires, pistol, and even hacking, with elements of Cyberpunk 2077-style UI design included for extra flair. The footage is accompanied by monologuing from Lucy (who appears to have been transported to the GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- world while delving into cyberspace) and, in the latter part, everyone’s favorite Cyberpunk: Edgerunners song, “I Really Want to Stay at Your House.”
“Was deep in the net. Looking for something, I suppose,” Lucy says shortly after the song begins. “Yes, I got sloppy, or I got popped by a rogue AI. Either way, not my finest hour. He was so close, just out of reach. Why’s my heart pounding? Who is he? Someone I care for? Lost? Forgot? What if I let it happen all over again? I need to find him.”
Lucy will be arriving in the game on August 21, as the fourth and final character of the Season Pass.

The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime (produced by TRIGGER, directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi) was initially released on Netflix in 2022. Inspired by CD Projekt Red‘s Cyberpunk 2077 open-world RPG (which is set within the universe of Mike Pondsmith‘s tabletop RPG Cyberpunk), it depicted the rise and fall of David, a street kid who becomes involved with netrunner Lucy and her group of cyberpunks.
GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-, the latest edition of the Guilty Gear series that dates back to 1998, was first released in 2021 on various platforms and is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. Its story segment is described as:
