Cygames was present at theAnime Expo 2023 this weekend in Los Angeles to talk about his next two productions from the license Granblue Fantasy. Let’s start with Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, a new fighting game unveiled at the beginning of the year and which will serve as both a sequel and an improved version of its predecessor. So far, two additional fighters have been introduced, the Divine General Anila and the Royal Knight of Feendrache Siegfried. The following revelation was due to occur at the beginning of July and therefore took place on this occasion. Good news, it’s a new group of characters well known to players of gbf who invites himself in this episode since it’s the lovely and dangerous Deny (Jenny Yokobori in English, Noriko Shitaya in Japanese) that we can embody in combat.
This member of Evokerswhich shares the name of a license of Square-Enix, will be able to invoke his Primal Beast based on the major arcana of the Dead to assist himprovided you have a load of Love’s Redemptions, a mechanism directly taken from the mobile game. When the Dead will be present in the arena, the skills of Deny can be entered upstream and will then be carried out sequentially, the cost being charges for Love’s Redemptions.
Re the beta scheduled for this month of July on PS5 and PS4, the dates have been communicated. It will take place in two phases, with first a private pre-access on July 27whose registration will begin on July 6 for those interested, followed by the open beta on July 29 and 30. No less than 25 characters will be playable, namely the 24 of GBVS And Siegfried. So you’ll have to come back to try Anilah.
Concerning them, neither of them will use a “Charge inputs” mechanic. The mechanics of “Rush”, “Backshift” and “Overdrive” will not return to GBVSR for the benefit of new game systems. For example, what looked like “Rush” when announced was actually just “Raging Chain”. We can therefore hope that the other two cities have also been remodeled. More fun, and you’ll notice director Tetsuya Fukuhara’s acting skills, a system of Partners will allow us to choose our favorite characters so that they come and slip in a few phrases of encouragement, advice and praise us after a confrontation.
Finally, the team is obviously not against adding guest characters other licenses and takes into account all the suggestions of the fans. Otherwise, it was reminded that an open beta tournament will take place atEVO 2023 on August 4 and 5 in Las Vegas, with a special panel dedicated to the game which should once again give us more details about it. We can expect to see a full trailer there for Deny on this occasion if nothing is broadcast before.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is expected on PS5, PS4 and PC (Steam) this year, without further details. Its predecessor is still sold on Amazon at the price of 19.69 €but this is the bottom-to-bottom version. roster quite poor.
