Dear CEOs,

This is Kim Hyun Soo, the Head PD of CounterSide.

Thanks to your continued support, the GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- collaboration is a great success! We sincerely appreciate your support.

In this Dev Notes #24, we will briefly introduce the major updates planned for July 2024.

[ New Substream - Alice Emergency ]

The thrilling new substream [Alice Emergency] unveils the captivating narrative of the Yaksha Division, a division shrouded in secrecy within the CounterSide universe.

Witness the transformation of Alice, once a dedicated firefighter, as she takes on the position of the Yaksha Division's leader. 

Please look forward to embarking on this enthralling adventure and immersing yourself in the riveting tale of Alice Emergency.

[ New Substream - Abandon Ship ]

A new exhilarating adventure in the latest seasonal event [Vacation - Abandoned Ship], set in the bustling port city and barrier town of Front Bay, located south of Ground One.

Front Bay has long been a battleground where pirates who defy the Administration and Administration-hired hunters compete for the lucrative bounties placed on Corrupted Objects living out at sea. Please look forward to the new episode unfolding in uncharted territory. 

[ New Origin - Change ]

Expanding the Origin system, we are announcing the addition of the third Origin, [Change]. The Change operates in the same manner as the two existing Origin traits. When opponents in PVE are endowed with Change, employees possessing Change will incur less damage from those opponents while dealing more significant damage. The employees with Change Origin are as follows.

Just like the previous Origins, the Change’s damage increase and damage reduction will depend on the rarity of the employee, ranging from 10 to 40%.

This concludes the upcoming updates in June. 

Thank you.
