About Granblue Fantasy: Versus

Japan’s megahit RPG Granblue Fantasy has topped the charts, charming players across the globe with a plethora of lovable characters and story-driven mechanics. Now, Arc System Works and Cygames have teamed up to bring the universe to home console in an action-packed head-to-head fighter. Featuring a colorful cast of their most popular “crewmembers,” each with a unique fighting style that is easy to learn but hard to master, Granblue Fantasy: Versus will appeal to fans of Granblue lore and fighting games alike.

Granblue Fantasy: Versus includes an RPG mode that features an all-new, original story told through beautifully rendered cutscenes. Featuring deep action RPG gameplay, in this mode players take on waves of enemies and formidable Primal Beasts solo or by teaming up with a friend in local or online co-op. Along the way, they develop their fighters with a comprehensive character and weapon upgrade system recognizable to all fans. The mysterious “hooded figure” (a.k.a the “Chaos Bringer”) featured in Granblue Fantasy’s popular “What Makes the Sky Blue” series of events, was revealed at Granblue Fantasy Fes 2019 as the final boss for RPG mode.

Beelzebub is unlockable as a playable character by completing the RPG mode or by purchasing the season 1 DLC. The season 1 DLC will also include playable characters Narmaya, who is available on Steam and the PlayStation Store now, Soriz, Djeeta, and Zooey.

Marvelous Europe is publishing the game for the PS4 system in European territories on March 27th. Complete details on all editions can be found in XSEED Games’ news post.

This trailer looks insane and I adore it. I only wish that it had either subtitles or was dubbed but that is such a first-world problem. With the inclusion of what looks like a deep ” RPG Mode”, this could be a one of a kind beat ’em up.
