We also get more details about the Free Edition, which will allow players to try out most of the features of the game at no cost.
It'll include four characters (Gran and three which will rotate periodically), arcade mode, versus mode, training mode (with some features disabled), and Part 1 of the story mode. The Figure Studio will have only default figures while both ranked and casual matches will be available. Room matches will not be accessible.
Crossplay, the Online Lobby, and the Gran Bruise Legends! minigames will all be included, while online hobby avatars will be limited to the Free Edition Default and Lobby Wepon Skins will also be default only. Partners will be limited to Gran, Vyrn, and Lyria.
Save data transfer from the original Granblue Fantasy Versus will not be included and profile customization will be limited with some features disabled. Replays will be available, while character level will be limited to 80 and legend level to 40.
If you'd like to see more about Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, you can check out the original reveal, alongside more trailers showcasing the new characters Anila, Siegfried, Nier, and Grimnir.
If you're unfamiliar with the game, it's an improved version of Granblue Fantasy Versus originally released in 2020. It's based on the popular Granblue Fantasy mobile game.
Incidentally, we also heard during the weekend that more news about the game on top of its JRPG brother Granblue Fantasy Relink will come at an event hosted in Japan in September.
