Granblue Fantasy: Versus fans have a lot to look forward to this week since its release earlier in the year. Not only is the game receiving a significant update but Arc System Works has two new DLC characters on the way to the game soon after.
The new update, which is available now, will add new RPG mode episodes to Granblue Fantasy: Versus that take place after the main story. Meanwhile the 2 new DLC characters will mark the start of season 2 in the game with the evil Belial releasing in September and Cagliostro in available in October. This should keep Arc System Works busy as fans speculate what other characters are being released in the developers other popular fighter, Dragon Ball FighterZ.
The Japanese voice actors for the characters are Yoshimasa Hosoya for Belial and Sakura Tang for Cagliostro respectively with the English voice acting being added on a later date due to development restrictions with Covid-19. While details on Cagliostro's move set not announced yet, Belial will have a focus on unique abilities and a neutral fighting style that will be hard to read.
The new update, bringing the game to version 1.40, also adds two new modes to the game. The first mode is a Boss Battle Time Attack pitting players fastest times against each other in a boss rush. The second mode is GBVS: Blitz, focusing on a ranked battle event, both modes are available for a limited time with the official start date being announced in-game. Arc System Works has been pretty busy with Granblue, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and the developer also announcing that Guilty Gear Strive is heading to next gen consoles.
