During Granblue Fes 2023, developers Cygames and Arc System Works revealed a slew of new content coming to Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising in 2024. New characters, stages, and modes are planned for regular intervals throughout the year, according to the roadmap.
Everything coming to GBVSR in 2024
While I’ll be detailing specific releases below, there are several additions coming at unspecified times throughout the year. Here’s hoping that the teams work in some much-needed bug fixes as well.
- January – February
- New stage
- New in-game features
- Online lobby update
- April – October
- New Grand Bruise! mode
- New online lobby minigame
- New bonus story
- New game mode
January 2024
Things kick off with the Version 1.10 release on January 16, 2024. The biggest addition is the DLC character, Lucilius. Players can obtain him through the Deluxe Edition Character Pass 1 or purchase him separately for $4.99. Aside from the angelic aberration, players can use his included Premium Avatar. His gameplay trailer shows off a lot of wings, teleportation, and big swords.
In addition to Lucilius, Version 1.10 will also provide the following:
- New stage: Feendrache
- Battle Pass Round 1
- QoL update for spectating lobby matches
- Bug fixes for traditional matches
- Non-specified tweaks and additions
February 2024
2B from Nier: Automata is coming to Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. The Square Enix battler is bringing a taste of the distant future to Gran and his mates, courtesy of her iconic swords and Pod companion. I’m sorry, Ferry. You’ll be going back to the afterlife once 2B arrives.
April 2024
The third DLC character, Vane, will be joining the roster. Wielding a poleaxe, this Knight in the Order of the White Dragons is sure to fit in nicely with Zeta mains. I’m just hoping that we see some form of Vanine make an appearance.
May 2024
The fourth DLC character, Beatrix, joins the fray. If the subreddit and Twitter replies are to be believed, this is a huge victory for GBVSR and May can’t come quickly enough.
August 2024
An unknown fifth DLC character will be released.
October 2024
An unknown sixth DLC character will be released.
