With the long-awaited release of Granblue Fantasy: Relink just around the corner, Cygames is releasing more information and trailers, including the early access times.
If you pre-order the game you are entitled to early access and you can check out regional times in the map below posted on X (Formerly Twitter).
That being said it’s pretty easy. It’s gonna start at midnight local time between January 28 and January 29 almost everywhere. Only players in North America are the exception, as the game launches at the same time across the continent, so if you’re on PST, you’ll get it at 9:00 p.m. on January 28.
Also on X, we learn that the Steam version of the game will fully release on January 31 at 9:00 p.m.PST.
On top of that, another post reveals that the demo for PS5 and PS4 has been downloaded 600,000 times. Cygames mentions that feedback on the camera controls, key bindings, and other features will be addressed in post-launch updates.
We also get to see three new character trailers focusing on Vane, Rosetta, and Percival.
Vane has powerful defensive skills and is voiced in English by Zeno Robinson, whom you can listen to below. His Japanese voice is Takuya Eguchi, whom you can listen to on X.
