Cygames has announced a demo has released for Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok, offering some story sections, quest mode, and the tutorial.
Due for release on July 9th, it’ll be the first time the game has come to Nintendo Switch 2 (and is also hitting PS4, PlayStation 5, and Steam). A new trailer has also been released called “The Journey So Far”, and we’ve got information on how to unlock the Endless Ragnarok story, and even some info on the “Conflux”, which is a new game mode.
Check out the trailer below:
So if you’re a returning player to Granblue Fantasy: Relink, but are wondering how to get to the new “Endless Ragnarok” part, Cygames has confirmed this. The publisher explains how to to it: “Clear the quest “The Tale of Bahamut’s Rage” (the battle with Proto Bahamut) in Relink to unlock Chaos-difficulty quests and embark on Endless Ragnarok’s story. Summons, an all-new battle mechanic, will be unlocked upon beginning Endless Ragnarok’s story and obtaining your first Summon. These powerful allies may be used in Chaos-difficulty or higher quests.”
Likewise, here’s how to unlock “The Conflux” (the new mode): “The Conflux, a new solo gameplay mode, can be unlocked by playing through a newly added side quest in Seedhollow. This side quest becomes available during Chapter 6 of the main story (before departing for Dahli Island) and unlocks the first Cycle of the Conflux.”
Cygames adds that Cycle 2 and 3 of The Conflux will be unlock as you progress through the main story. There are also six new characters, and the team has detailed how you get them as well:
- Beatrix, Eustace: Trade Crewmate Cards at the Knicknack Shack. Additional ways to obtain Crewmate Cards will be added in the full game.
- Gallanza, Maglielle: During Chapter Ø of Relink, progress through Hard-difficulty quests until a certain cutscene plays to obtain unique Crewmate Cards. These can be traded at the Knicknack Shack.
- Fraux, Fediel: Progress through Endless Ragnarok’s story to have these characters join your crew.
In addition to the new features to be added with Endless Ragnarok, Granblue Fantasy: Relink will also receive a major update. To make the game more accessible and enjoyable, a number of quality-of-life improvements will be implemented along with overall game rebalancing and the addition of new side quests. More details will be shared in the livestream scheduled for Wednesday, July 8 (JST). The patch notes will also be posted to the Endless Ragnarok website on this date.
Back to the demo (available now), though, the story mode will let you get rewards you can unlock in the full version if you purchase the game on July 9th. Crossplay matchmaking is available in the demo, and there are a total of four quests you can try. Of course you can also play the tutorial mode as well. The original release was a fantastic game, and I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in again on Switch 2 for this one.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok is coming to PC, PS4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 on July 9th.
