For example we see quick ground combos and areas with short range weapons such as swords, but also ranged attacks with rifles and spells.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink was announced in 2016 and will see the collaboration of the historic composer Nobuo Uematsu and art director Hideo Minaba, who previously worked on various chapters of the Final Fantasy series. Platinum Games, Bayonetta's studio, was originally involved in the work on Relink, but the collaboration was stopped in 2019, which inevitably slowed the pace of development.
The game is set in the same world as the original Granblue Fantasy released for mobile platforms, but in a completely new location. Some of the historical characters from the previous chapter will return, such as Charlotta and Yodarha. It is an Action RPG that can be faced in single player or with three other players with online multiplayer.
The new Granblue Fantasy: Relink movie has been proposed as a "teaser trailer", so in the next few weeks it could arrive a more full-bodied video with more details on the gameplay.
