Update 1.23 for Guilty Gear Strive has arrived, and here are all the changes and improvements mentioned in the patch notes. The update will add Ky Kiske’s son, Sin Kiske, to the game. Players have not seen Sin since Guilty Gear Xrd, and the fan-favorite fighter is coming back with a hefty amount of changes to his gameplay. Sin’s hunger gauge does not work like it used to, his moves are now simpler to use, and his hunger meter just gives him a canned follow-up after certain special moves. Here is the complete list of patch notes for update 1.23 for Guilty Gear Strive.
