Cygames has announced that Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will be released for Nintendo Switch 2 next month.
From developer Arc System Works, this revamped sequel to Granblue Fantasy Versus looked to deliver a “more enjoyable and accessible” experience than before.

The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- It’s a Party! Claim Your Crown in Grand Bruise Legends: Need a break from matches? Take a breather and experience a one-of-a-kind island lobby filled with fun attractions.
