Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s developer has released a new trailer for the highly anticipated cooperative action-RPG. This clip debuted at Granblue Fes 2023, a Cygames-hosted special event dedicated to the Granblue Fantasy mobile game IP and its associated spin-offs. This includes special events such as concerts, Q&A sessions, and other activities. This contained fresh details regarding a Granblue Fantasy Versus sequel, as well as a playable demo of Relink on the exhibition floor.
Grandblue Fantasy: Relink, for those who are unfamiliar, is an action-RPG that was first revealed in 2017 as a partnership between Cygames and PlatinumGames. That changed in 2019 when Cygames brought it back in-house to be developed. It had gone through a long development cycle in which it was faced with delay after delay, stretching it all the way to 2023. Cygames said that further information about Relink would be revealed at Granblue Fes 2023, where fans were rewarded for their patience with a brand-new video.
Following the game’s development reboot, this “second” video introduces the numerous locations that players may explore in Grandblue Fantasy: Relink’s globe. Not only that, but several of the game’s characters were shown, including companions Lyria and Vyrn, as well as allied party members Rosetta, Katalina, and Eugen. The war is set up by the Church of Avia chasing the skyfarers, and the party even meets one of the Church’s three generals, Id.
In this clip, the action-RPG gameplay was also shown. It made use of a number of party members and their skills from Granblue Fantasy: Relink, including Eugen’s use of firearms, Io’s magic-based moveset, and Katalina’s knightly style, which mixes the use of a sword with phantom pictures. Many other party members got to shine in this clip as well, demonstrating a range of elemental special skills that may be utilised to finish off an opponent.
The game’s locations and surroundings are also highly varied, with players visiting a large volcano inhabited by a dragon-like beast, an ice palace, wind-swept ruins, and many more. This teaser also introduced several new party members, including fan favourite Narmaya. The video concludes with pictures of the three Church of Avia generals, as well as a 2023 international release date. This clip also confirms that the game, like Granblue Fantasy: Versus before it, will include an English dub option.
