This weekend is the annual Granblue Fantasy Fes event in Japan, and as usual, we’re getting some big announcements from the world of Granblue. Specifically,Granblue Fantasy: Versusis getting an expansion that’s launching worldwide this year.Granblue Fantasy: Versus Risingwill feature new stages, new characters, and a new story for players to experience. As you can see in theVersus Risingtrailer below, it’s confirmed the game will have rollback net code and crossplay between PS4/PS5 and PC via Steam.
Skimming through thegame’s website, it’s confirmed that all 24 characters from the original game will return for this semi-sequel. Additionally, anybody who missed out onVersuswill be able to experience an abridged version of that game’s celebrated story mode. If you play a lot ofVersusonline, know that the online lobby will be completely revamped forVersus Risingand will include the all-new “Grand Bruise Legends” mini-game mode.
I guess calling it “Granblue Fall Guys” would have been a little too on the nose. Either way, all of that looks great, and it’s nice to know thatStreet Fighter 6will have some competition this year. Expect Cygames and Arc System Works to reveal more details and new features as we get closer to its launch date.Granblue Fantasy: Versus Risingwill release worldwide this year for PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam. And if you’re still playing the originalVersus, know that the final update for that gamewill release on January 24.
