For fans of the JRPG genre, Granblue Fantasy Relink is coming your way, and here’s everything you need to know about one of the most anticipated titles of 2024.

This is going to be a good year for the Granblue franchise fans and lovers of the RPG genre, as Granblue Fantasy: Relink is on its way. After a lot of debate about its release date, we have a solid date and time when players will be able to enjoy one of the most anticipated RPGs of the year.

Granblue Fantasy Relink is set in the same universe as all the prior Granblue games but counts as a spin-off and not part of the mainline/canon story of the franchise. So, if you didn’t play any of the previous Granblue games, this is a good chance to dive into the Sky Realm.

So here’s all you need to know about Granblue Fantasy Relink, including its release date, available platforms, gameplay details, and trailers.

Granblue Fantasy Relink will launch globally on February 1, 2024. Its release date was originally intended to be early 2022, but after some changes in the direction of the project and the decision to make it multi-platform, it was delayed to an indeterminate date.

Luckily for players, it was confirmed that the game is set for an early release in February, so buckle up, because we are up for a ride with one of the most anticipated RPGs of the year.

Granblue Fantasy Relink will be available on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC (Steam) platforms.

Initially, it was thought to be a Playstation-exclusive game, but after much speculation, it was finally revealed back in 2022 as an multi-platform game.

It is currently unknown whether it will make it to Xbox Series X|S or Nintendo Switch, but we will keep you posted about any changes related to this.

Granblue Fantasy Relink will offer a story mode campaign with open-world elements that will boast over 20 hours of gameplay time. The gameplay time can also vary depending on the level of difficulty you choose to play.

Players will be set on an adventure to discover a mythical floating island in the Sky Realm and will be able to recruit many characters to complete their Party. Unlike other Granblue games, this is not a gacha game; it’s more like a classic party-based RPG.

Party members will be controlled by AI, but players can also engage in cooperative play with up to four players. It is still unknown if the game will allow for cross-platform play.

Granblue Fantasy Relink is an action-packed RPG with elements of hack and slash and combo attacks using the Skybound Arts system.

Every character in the game has a unique set of skills and can learn new ones throughout the story. The game also features a myriad of weapons and “sigils” to customize your gameplay.

Here’s the original trailer for Granblue Fantasy Relink, revealed back in 2023. As you can see if you compare the trailer with the showcase video above, the game has experienced a significant change in both quality and style.
