Endgame Raid: Lucilius
The upcoming endgame raid in Granblue Fantasy Relink features a fight against Lucilius, an astral who was the head researcher of a research lab. He is an absolute genius with a Transcendent will, and he created the original Primal beasts. However, his research led him to draw his own conclusions about the gods’ designs and establish a plan to destroy the world. This raid is expected to be extremely difficult, according to the developers.
New Playable Characters: Safon and Twin
In April, players can expect two new playable characters in Granblue Fantasy Relink. Safon and Twin will join the roster, adding even more variety to the gameplay experience. It will be interesting to see their unique abilities and playstyles.
Upcoming DLC and Old Colors

It remains to be seen if the game will receive more support after that. During the stream, the developers showcased some of the old colors that players can earn in-game or by pre-ordering. These colors allow players to customize the appearance of their characters.
Gameplay and Features
The gameplay portion of the stream showcased more of the story content and areas that players will be able to experience in the full game. The developers kept the gameplay spoiler-free but mentioned that there will be super flashy cutscenes and a variety of areas to explore. One notable area shown was a big open desert area, which is much larger than the areas in the Press demo. The developers have implemented green boost orbs in this area, allowing players to quickly boost around and slide on the sand dunes.
Mini Games and Side Objectives
One concern players had about Granblue Fantasy Relink was the availability of content outside of boss fights. The gameplay demo revealed that there will be mini games for players to complete, which will unlock chests and provide extra rewards for crafting. One example shown was collecting crystals within a time limit to unlock a chest. These chests can also drop sigils, which are gear pieces that provide bonuses and perks to the characters.
Weapon Upgrades and Progression
Granblue Fantasy Relink features a robust weapon upgrade and progression system. Each character has a variety of weapons with different levels and level caps. By upgrading weapons, players can unlock passive bonus stats in the collection tree. Additionally, players can craft entirely new weapons with different traits. It’s important to note that weapon skins can also be changed, allowing players to customize their characters’ appearance according to their preferences.
Multiplayer and Endgame Content
The developers demonstrated the multiplayer and endgame content in Granblue Fantasy Relink. They showcased a multiplayer lobby where players can gather and communicate with each other. The endgame content featured a challenging boss fight called Illusion’s Windworm, which required strategic team coordination. The developers emphasized the importance of adopting team strategies to succeed in the endgame. They also mentioned that even tougher challenges await players.
Granblue Fantasy Relink is shaping up to be an exciting Action RPG for fans of the genre.
