Arc System Works Making Granblue Fantasy Fighting Game

Behold The First Proper Trailer

Sometimes Iโ€™ll see a series or franchise from Japan that I desperately want to love but canโ€™t. Either the medium is too unpalatable, it was never released out west, or both. Granblue Fantasy is one of those IPs. A Japanese gacha mobile series, it always looked so damn cool. Yet whoโ€™s got time for another freakinโ€™ mobile game? Thankfully Granblue Fantasy: Versus is coming to the PS4 next year.

Granblue Fantasy: Versus

Unlike Gacha games, fighters are something I can actually get into, mediocre skills notwithstanding. Arc System Works released a proper trailer for the game this week, and it looks fantastic. Okay, it looks good beyond the CG cutscenes. Theyโ€™re pretty enough, but something about that style of CG animation always throws me off.

I know next to nothing about the Granblue franchise, aside from the solid aesthetic at work. Seriously, everyone is so pretty! Also, their armor all matches for some reason, which I can totally get behind. Thereโ€™s no concrete release date for this one yet, though the available footage suggests theyโ€™re making excellent development progress. You can check out the trailer below for a better look at Granblue Fantasy: Versus in action. If itโ€™s anything like Arc Systemโ€™s other games, this is gonna be a terrific title.
