Granblue Fantasy: Versus Rising - Sequel Announced

Granblue Fantasy: Versus Rising – Sequel Announced

Granblue Fantasy: Versus Rising, the successor to the successful fighting game Granblue Fantasy: Versus, has been formally announced by Cygames. While Granblue Fantasy: Versus Rising isn’t a complete sequel, but rather an iterative variation of the previous game, Cygames is vastly enhancing and growing the new title. The most significant feature is the long-requested inclusion of cross-platform play and rollback netcode.

Granblue Fantasy: Versus’s absence of a rollback netcode has long been a running joke among the game’s fans. Several titles, including Dragon Ball FighterZ, Samurai Showdown, and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, unveiled or leaked the rollback netcode at EVO 2022. However, when Granblue Fantasy: Versus’ presentation came up and an online tournament with no plans for rollback netcode was disclosed, the fanbase was outraged, to say the least.
