The long anticipated Granblue Fantasy: Relink is finally about to end its lengthy development cycle. Japanese developer Cygames announced as much today on Twitter while also sharing a new teaser trailer. At the very end, we can see the confirmation that Granblue Fantasy: Relink will be released at some point in 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
Originally known as Granblue Fantasy Project Re: Link, the game was initially meant to be co-developed by PlatinumGames and Cygames. However, in February 2019, Cygames announced that it would fully take charge of the development of the game (now officially titled Granblue Fantasy: Relink).
In late 2020, Cygames announced a 2022 release date. However, the studio had to delay the game once more to 2023, allegedly because of the pandemic.
An action RPG at its core, Granblue Fantasy: Relink will allow players to control a party of NPCs or play with friends in online co-op (up to four players in total). Cygames did not say if cross-platform play is supported.
