▍About Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising
Granblue Fantasy Versus is a 2.5D fighting game released on February 6, 2020, for consoles and PC, and Rising is the game’s enhanced update bringing in new characters and systems.
The game features a variety of upgrades, including enhanced visuals to better match the aesthetic of the mobile game, several new mechanics to change how many of the characters play, and also adding new content such as an expanded story mode, and online features including the long-awaited Rollback Netcode feature and Crossplay, making it possible to play with more players globally with less lag.
New to the game is also the mini-game and lobby feature Grand Bruise Legends, which lets you play a sort of Fall Guys-style minigame with other players in your lobby as you go head to head in team-based minigames and battle royale modes while other players continue to duke it out in lobbies.
