Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising is now out in early access format. It is a new game and sequel to GFV, and it is available on PlayStation and PC. The game is another masterpiece involving Arc System Works, and it has an incredible roster available from day one. Here you will find all of the Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising characters along with the confirmed DLC add-ons and character pass 1 release date.

The official release date is December 14th, but you can play early access right now by purchasing the Deluxe edition for £61.99. Regardless of which platform you buy it on, the good news is that there is crossplay between PlayStation and PC for many of its modes ranging from Casual to Ranked to Grandblue Legends Royale involving cute little chibis. Away from online butt-whooping, there is also a single-player story and Arcade mode to test your skills against the CPU.

The gameplay is as fast and precise as you’d expect from Arc System Works, and the 2D visual art style is prettier than ever. All of the characters look spellbinding, and the roster is jampacked from launch.
