During this year’s Granblue Fest, Japanese game developer Cygames announced that a free demo of Granblue Fantasy: Relink would be released next month on PlayStation and PlayStation 5 ahead of the scheduled global release date of February 1st, 2024. Featured content includes a small chunk of the main story, eleven playable characters, and even playable online quests in cooperative multiplayer. Moreover, completing story and quest content will provide rewards for the full game.
Unfortunately, it seems like PC users are left out of the possibility of going hands-on with this demo, at least for the time being. It’s an unfortunate but rather widespread practice, especially for Japanese games.
On the upside, Cygames also shared a new exciting trailer that was well-received among the franchise’s fans, particularly due to the inclusion of the theme song “Good Night, Good Morning” by Nao Tōyama. Apart from that, Cygames has revealed that Cagliostro will be a playable character in Granblue Fantasy: Relink at launch. Here’s her official description:
A brilliant mage who founded alchemy in the Sky Realm. She has learned how to achieve virtual immortality by regularly replacing her body with new vessels that suit her tastes.
With a post-launch update due in April, the developers will introduce two additional playable characters to Granblue Fantasy: Relink: Seofon and Tweyen.
Seofon leads the Eternals, a group of ten weapon masters. Also known as the Star-Sword Sovereign, Seofon collects spirit swords from defeated opponents and channels that spirit energy to manifest them onto the battlefield.
Tweyen is the bow master of the Eternals. Not only can her supernatural eyes pinpoint prey across enormous distances, she commands the ability to fly. Each magic arrow fired from her bow finds its mark without fail.
We recently played a nearly finished build of the game and interviewed Game Director Yasuyuki Kaji, in case you want to know even more about Granblue Fantasy: Relink.
