Want to learn about the Granblue Fantasy: Relink release date?

After a long development period, the action-RPG from Cygames is almost here. With unique co-op and party-based combat, there’s a lot to look forward to. If you thought the game oozed PlatinumGames vibes, that might be because this was supposed to be a joint project between the two studios. Unfortunately, the Devil May Cry developer dropped out of this collaboration. But the game still appears to be an engrossing experience.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is scheduled to release on Thursday, Feb 1, 2024. For some reason, the Steam release shows the release date as a couple of days later. Expect the game to drop at midnight local time across all regions and supported platforms.

After first being announced in 2016, the game has gone through a rough development period. A few delays later, the game is almost here. Granblue Fantasy takes place in the Sky Realm, a world where islands float across the sky. You’ll step into the shoes of a captain of a skyfaring crew, joined by a dragon named Vyrn and a young girl with mysterious powers named Lyria. With new characters like the alchemist Cagliostro and Seofon Tweyen, members of the Eternals, a group of weapon masters, expect plenty of surprises.

There’s been a great deal of coverage already for Granblue Fantasy: Relink. They’ve covered various mechanics of the game, in addition to multiplayer and boss battles. Check out the trailers here.
