Today Cygames released a bunch of gameplay videos showing off several of the playable characters of its JRPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink in action.
We take a look at Gran, defined as an all-rounder who specializes in short-range attacks and can deal with any situation by using a variety of abilities. He's easy to control for action game beginners.

Next is Katalina, who can cover both short and longer ranges with her magical sword. By building up her gauge with attacks, she can summon Ares, a primal beast that can unleash a powerful attack combo.

Rackam can attack enemies from a safe distance thanks to his gun. He's an ideal character for players who want to leave the front lines to their allies and support from the rear.

It's worth mentioning that a build of the game will be playable on February 25 at Redee in Osaka during the final round of the Granblue Fantasy Versus Cygames Cup Special 2023. All of the characters showcased above will be available to try at the venue.
Both Granblue Fantasy: Relink and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising are releasing worldwide for PS5, PS4, and PC in 2023. Cygames appears to be planning to deliver them as a one-two punch to boost the mobile IP's popularity among console and PC gamers.
