A demo for upcoming role-playing game Granblue Fantasy: Relink launches on PlayStation 4 and 5 at midnight tonight, January 11, publisher Cygames has announced.
Three modes will be available in the demo — Tutorial, Story, and Quest — with players able to earn rewards for the full version of Granblue Fantasy: Relink in each one. Story mode won't be a prequel or separate part of the game but instead just offer "a small slice" of Granblue Fantasy: Relink's main story.
Quest mode gives players an additional three quests to work through, playable either solo or with up to three others via online co-op. 11 characters are available in this mode: Gran, Katalina, Rackam, Io, Charlotta, Ghandagoza, Narmaya, Lancelot, Siegfried, Yodarha, and Zeta. Finally, Tutorial mode gives players a chance to get to grips with the basics. Progress made in the demo does not transfer over to the full game.
"Granblue Fantasy is set in Zegagranda Skydom, in the corner of the world where islands are guarded by primal monsters and winds," its synopsis reads. "Players are tasked with discovering the web of intrigue reaching far beyond the borders of Zegagrande and will fight to determine the future of the Sky Realm."
It was first announced way back in 2016, but following some development troubles that saw initial studio PlatinumGames step away, Granblue Fantasy: Relink has seemingly taken a while for Cygames to get right.
A release date finally arrived in August 2023, however, when Cygames announced Granblue Fantasy: Relink launches on February 1, 2024.
