Here’s a heads-up: The first pair of characters dropping in after the game’s launch are set to hit the scene in April 2024, and you’re getting them through a free DLC update. Brace yourselves for these upcoming heroes:
When it comes to foes, throughout the solo campaign, you’ll find yourself in constant clashes with the following characters:
Granblue Fantasy: Relink is not just your average action RPG – it’s got the whole package. You can dive into the offline play, where one player can seamlessly switch between all four party members on the fly. But hey, if you’re feeling a bit social, jump into the online play with up to four players, each rocking their own characters.
Now, the co-op action is exclusively for the “Quests” mode, which is no slouch – there are 100-plus tasks waiting for you. We’re talking boss battles, time attack missions, survival challenges, and more. And after you conquer the main game, there’s some serious post-endgame content waiting in the Quests mode.
But wait, there’s more! The Story Mode is all about that offline play, bringing you the narrative in full solo glory. Now, let’s get to the good stuff – combat. Every character has their unique physical attacks and special abilities, and there’s a whole world of customization at your fingertips. Want to see some teamwork? Trigger those full team-up “Link Attacks” when the enemy’s “Stun Gauge” maxes out. And for that extra oomph, unleash flashy “Skybound Arts.” String these moves together, and you’ve got the powerful aftershocks called “Chain Bursts.”
Speaking of customization, you’ve got the keys to the kingdom. Swap costumes, tweak weapons, mess with Sigils, and dig into “Mastery Nodes” to unlock and attach four skills to your favorite character. It’s a whole RPG playground waiting for you!
In summary, the eagerly awaited Granblue Fantasy: Relink is set to captivate fans with its release scheduled for February 1, 2024, on PS5, PS4, and PC – Steam.
