It’s legit
Earlier this year at E3, I sat down with Cygames to talk about some of their upcoming projects. It was an odd meeting because, in truth, I couldn’t talk about much of what I was shown. In thepost I wrote about the meeting, I alluded to the fact there were games in development I couldn’t talk about as I signed an agreement barring me from doing so. Well, now one of those titles is out in the open, so I’m free to tell you aboutGranblue Fantasy: Versus. From Cygames andDragon Ball FighterZdeveloper Arc System Works, this gorgeous fighting game takes characters from the incredibly popular (in Japan) gacha mobile RPG and has them square off in combo-heavy battles.
At E3, I got to play a little bit of an early, early build of the game. It didn’t look as beautiful as the footage in the trailer above, but I tell you the combat there was spectacular. Even with just two characters available, it was fast, fluid, and everything we’ve come to expect from Arc System Works fighters.
Granblue Fantasy: Versusis planned to launch on the PlayStation 4 in 2019.
