The world of fighting games is preparing to receive an exciting expansion with Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. Publisher Cygames and developer Arc System Works have announced that Grimnir will be joining as a playable character, during the Nier trailer presentation at the game’s EVO 2023 panel. But that’s not all, as creative director Tetsuya Fukuhara has also introduced a series of new elements that will enrich the gaming experience.
One of the most anticipated new features are the costumes, which will allow players to customize their favorite characters with unique and stylish outfits. Additionally, new features have been added to the training mode, making it easier for players of all levels to learn and perfect combat skills.
The online experience will also receive a major upgrade with the new online lobby, where players will be able to interact and socialize while waiting for their next matchup. For those who want a break from the intense battles, mini-games have been added, offering a variety of in-game activities.
One piece of news that will surely excite fans of the original game is the ability to transfer data from Granblue Fantasy: Versus, which will allow players to maintain their progress and unlocks in this new installment.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising aims to push the boundaries of the fighting game genre, providing a well-rounded experience for beginners and veterans alike. The core gameplay will be maintained, but with the addition of new characters and mechanics that will elevate movement options and strategic play to higher levels.
The online beta phase was a great opportunity to gather feedback and improve the game, and the developers thank everyone who participated in it. Rising’s graphics have also been improved, with stunning expressions and improved visuals to offer a more immersive experience.
Finally, the most exciting news for many players is the implementation of rollback and cross-play, a feature widely requested since the launch of Granblue Fantasy: Versus. Although the decision to remake these features in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising involved significant effort, this community desire has been realized, allowing for a more fluid online gaming experience and connecting players across platforms.
With a release date planned for 2023, the development teams are working hard to meet expectations and make Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising the best fighting game in its category. The gaming community is eagerly waiting to immerse themselves in this exciting and expanded gaming experience that promises to take the Granblue Fantasy universe to new heights.
