One of the best action RPGs of 2024 gets better as Granblue Fantasy Relink rolls out the kind of endgame live services would kill for, plus more gorgeous characters
Granblue Fantasy Relink, a surprise hit that's managed to stand out in a year positively stuffed with JRPGs, is barely a month old but already rolling out an exciting roadmap of free content that starts with a new boss coming this Thursday, March 14.
As part of the 10-year celebration for the Granblue Fantasy franchise altogether, developer Cygames recently released a preliminary lineup of upcoming Relink updates. March 14 will see the release of version 1.1.0 and a Proud-tier quest called The Final Vision, featuring new ally Supreme Primarch Sandalphon in a fight against Lucilius. I'm sure this is all terribly exciting to Granblue lore enthusiasts, but even as someone who doesn't know squat beyond the anime and Relink, I'm more than ready for another over-the-top boss fight, and Lucilius certainly looks like one.
In an accompanying blog post, Cygames confirmed two new characters are coming in version 1.2.0, currently targeting an April release. There's a new archer named Tweyen – the first playable unit to use an actual bow – as well as mixed-melee fighter Seofon. Both characters, especially Tweyen, seem to have greater effective range than most of Relink's melee-focused cast. Anecdotally, I've found that range characters like Rackam and Eugen are overrepresented in online multiplayer, so I'd bet these new characters will be well received.
