Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising - Lucilius

Cygames released a new video about its popular fighting game Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, focusing on the newest DLC character, Lucilius. 

The video is basically a guide to Lucilius' moves one day before his release. He will be available as the first DLC of the game's first season pass tomorrow, January 16.

Lucilius releases for $4.99, and comes with his own set,

Here's what the set contains.

  • Playable character "Lucilius"
  • Premium Avatar "Lucilius"
  • Badge "Lucilius"
  • Weapon Cutout "Sword of Repudiation"
  • Figure Studio "Lucilius" poses and expressions 1–6

You can watch his powerful moves below.

We already know that the first character pass will include a whopping 6 characters.

Lucilius will be followed by 2B from NieR: Automata in late February, then Vane in April, and Beatrix in May. Two more characters will come in August and October, but they have not been announced just yet.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is currently playable for PS5, PS4, and PC.

It's a re-release of the original Granblue Fantasy; Versus. Not only it comes with revised gameplay, but also new characters like GrimnirNierSiegfried, and Anila.

It's basically a second lease on life for Cygames' fighting game, which was originally launched during the height of the pandemic, delivering a considerable hit to the publisher's eSport ambitions. 

On the other hand, Versus: Rising appears to be quite successful, and the organizers of a popular tournament had to enforce a cap on participants to avoid being overwhelmed by the high demand. 

If you're interested in the Granblue Fantasy franchise in general, Cygames will soon release a brand-new JRPG titled Granblue Fantasy Relink on the same platforms as Versus: Rising. 

If you want to play it before it launches and see whether it's for you, a playable demo has just been launched, albeit only on PS5 and PS4,
