Arc System Works just announced its first new character in its Season 1 Pass. It's none other than the giant secretary of absolute defense Goldlewis Dickinson.

He seems like a new heavy grappler archetype in the veins of Potemkin, but with far-reaching footsie moves including his coffin-swinging heavy moves and orbital laser-summoning via his red eye. His buddy in the coffin, possibly a Cryptid, can launch projectiles and perform an uppercut Dust attack.

Arc System Works also announces the release dates for the rest of the Season 1 Pass characters. They will be out in August 2021, sometime in 2021, and early 2022. We're guessing two of those slots will be reserved for Happy Chaos and Asuka (That Man) if the datamine turned out to be true.

The Season 1 Pass will also feature 2 additional battle stages, a GGST Additional Color Pack, and Another Story scenario.
