 Back
in December 2018, Granblue Fantasy Versus was announced as Arc System Works' next 2.5D fighting
game. The second official trailer (below) was uploaded this morning, confirming playable
character
Lowain, who is accompanied by his comrades Elsam and Tomoi. In the
trailer, Yggdrasil was also revealed as a "summon" character for
Lowain and his friends. When summoned, Yggdrasil will take up a large
portion of the screen, towering over her opponents to deliver lightning
and earth-based spells.
Set in the
same universe as Cygames' popular Japanese mobile game, Granblue
Fantasy, GF Versus is planned for a worldwide
release on PlayStation 4 sometime in 2019. Cygames
director Tetsuya Fukuhara previously hinted at a possible PC version release via
Steam, but only the PS4 version has been confirmed so far.

LOWAIN
| A
free spirit who was all about his part-time job, a good
gab sesh with the boys, and a dash of adventure every now
and then. That all changed when Katalina visited the
restaurant where he worked. It was infatuation at first
sight. Determined to follow her, he quit his job and began
a new life as the cook on Gran’s crew.
He’s a
fair hand with a dagger, but with his buddies Elsam and
Tomoi there to run interference and baffle opponents, he
can really ruin an enemy’s day… probably.

GRAN

Gran is the honest to a fault hero who’s traveling
to the Estalucia, the Island of the Astrals at the behest

girl who saved Gran’s life by linking it with her
own.

KATALINA

adventures with Gran. She has trouble with directions and
cooking.

LANCELOT

of Feendrache Kingdom. He’s a master swordsman who will
willingly risks life should any threat arise to his

clean.)

CHAROLOTTA
| BIO:
The diminutive Charolotta is the captain of the Holy
