Granblue Fantasy
Versus: Rising
ABOUT: In
January 2023, Cygames and Arc System Works announced a sequel to Granblue
Fantasy Versus titled Granblue Fantasy: Versus Rising.
The new title will feature enhanced visuals like character models / faces
to more closely replicate the art style of Granblue Fantasy, in addition to new
mechanics, new characters and stages, new story content, rollback netcode, and crossplay.
The game is coming to Steam,
PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 with crossplay in 2023.

The
newly upgraded visuals mirror the anime and art style!

New
gameplay mechanics in GBVS:
Rising include New Triple Attacks and Dash Attacks.
Just like the original Auto Combo system from GBVS, Triple Attacks
can be performed by pushing an attack button three times in a row. The third
hit, however, can now be changed to an overhead or low attack depending on the
player's input. These can be used to open up a defensive foe and keep your
pressure going!
Dash Attacks are quick attacks that can be performed while a character is
dashing. These can be used to close the gap and keep the pressure on the
opponent with different variations using light, medium, and heavy attacks. Some
characters have dash attacks that can be chained into combos or used to catch
blocking foes off guard.

For
when you're not fighting... Fall Guys mode.

Granblue
Fantasy Versus: Rising will feature a "simplified"
version of RPG mode in an all-new Story Mode, including all chapters from
the first GBVS as well as an original saga. The trailer suggests
that the original GBVS roster, including all previous DLC
characters, will return in Rising. A new online
lobby mode called "Grand Bruise Legends" featuring mini-games was also revealed.
"Grand Bruise Legends"
is a
new lobby mode for Granblue Fantasy: Versus Rising. The updated
online lobby system allows players to take a break from fighting and take control of chibi avatars
(similar to the first game, but different in more ways than one). Besides
exploring the lobbies, player avatars can now compete
in various mini games — some taking inspiration from the massive
multiplayer battle royale obstacle course game, Fall Guys.

|
|
At
the least, the new lobby system looks feature-rich and fun.

BOTTOM LINE

|
|
|
|
| First Impression: |
While offering stylish visuals,
easy-to-get-into gameplay, and compelling characters... the original Granblue
Fantasy Versus was held back by subpar netcode. In traditional fighting game
fashion, Cygames and Arc System Works is looking to revive the series with the Rising
enhancement.
As a casual fan of the Granblue series, I'm looking forward to seeing
which new characters make the cut in the sequel. I also still have my fingers
crossed for guest characters in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, which I think
would add a lot of excitement to the title.
