May 14 marked the debut of Blazing Pass, a limited-time progression feature in GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- that lets players earn in-game rewards by raising their BP level.
Blazing Pass Duel 1: Reignite runs through June 25, and a paid Blazing Pass Plus upgrade costs $3.99 for extra rewards on top of the standard track.
Players can buy the upgrade at any point during the event and immediately claim all Plus rewards tied to the BP level they have already reached.
Arc System Works said GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- has now surpassed 3.5 million players globally across packaged and digital sales, with Season Pass 5 also on sale for $24.99.
Will the Blazing Pass model help GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- maintain its player base, or will it risk driving players away due to FOMO fatigue?
How do the recent balance changes and new monetization strategies impact the competitive scene and community perception of GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE-?
