During a stage show at Granblue Fes 2018 hosted at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba near Tokyo, Cygames showcased some brand new gameplay of Granblue Fantasy Relink co-developed with PlatinumGames.
We get to see our heroes Gram, Katalina, Rackam, and Io in a dungeon, and the gameplay played on PS4 looks absolutely spectacular.
After a few minutes spent in the dungeon killing monsters and gathering loot, we move on to a boss battle against the primal beast Furycane that looks even better than the rest.
Interestingly, despite the fact that the game has moved from the original turn-based RPG on mobile to an action-RPG on consoles, some mechanics remain, including the Break status on enemies and skill chains among playable characters.
If you’re not familiar with Granblue Fantasy, it’s an extremely popular mobile JRPG by Cygames, featuring a deep story and high-quality production values including art by Hideo Minaba and music by Nobuo Uematsu.
You can check out the trailer below, and take a look at the story trailer and some lovely official screenshots.
During the same event, Cygames also announced Granblue Fantasy Versus, a fighting game for PS4 developed by Arc System Works of DragonBall FighterZ, BlazBlue and Guilty Gear fame.
