Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising: Guest character 2B from Nier: Automata added

Arc System Works isn't slowing down, as they've revealed an exciting lineup of DLC fighters set to join Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising in the coming months.

Among the notable additions in this inaugural season pass is 2B from Nier: Automata, a character that has left a significant mark on gaming over the past decade. The trailer was revealed during the GBVS:Rising keynote at this year's Granblue Fantasy Fest in Tokyo.

In the trailer, the android assassin engages Gran, showcasing formidable skills. Her commanding presence is evident through expansive, screen-filling attacks. Furthermore, she possesses a charging move to swiftly approach opponents. Alongside her reliable blades, Virtuous Contract & Virtuous Treaty, she uses a support pod for long-range pressure.


2B has made a previous appearance in a fighting game back in 2018 as a DLC character for the 3D fighter Soul Calibur VI. Retaining many moves from NieR: Automata, including her distinctive "revealing" self-destruct function, she has remained a fan favorite in the FGC over almost five years since the game's release.

In the upcoming Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, 2B is set to release in February, joining the Season Pass alongside Lucilius, scheduled for January 16th, 2024. Additionally, the pass includes new additions Vane and Beatrix, who are planned for release in the Spring, specifically in April and May.

Furthermore, fans can anticipate numerous updates including fresh stages, enhancements to online lobbies, bonus story content, a new core game mode, and additional mini-games for the lobby.

In addition, there may be adjustments to character strengths and weaknesses, along with possible tweaks to game mechanics. Although specific details are lacking, making it challenging to predict when such a patch will be released.

The developers appear to have a well-thought-out strategy to maintain a thriving player base this time.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is a spin-off fighting game derived from Granblue Fantasy. Players assume the roles of various characters from the series and engage in intense battles.
