The teaser trailer was released at Evo 2022, where Skullgirls was one of the main tournaments. The teaser reveals that the last character of the game’s first season pass will be Marie. The titular character was previously exclusively the game boss character in Story Mode and Arcade Mode.
Marie will be launching in 2023, over a decade after her debut, in 2012 on PlayStation 3. Skullgirls is currently celebrating its 10th Anniversary, alongside it, its first season pass of new characters. The season pass for Skullgirls: 2nd Encore brought the first new characters to the game since 2015.
No gameplay was present in the teaser trailer and we likely won’t see any in the upcoming months.
