Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising for Nintendo Switch 2 Launches September 17

Summary

Cygames has announced that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will launch on September 17. Developed by ARC SYSTEM WORKS and published by Cygames, this fighting game is already available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam. The Switch 2 edition introduces a brand-new control mode called "Motion VS," which utilizes the Joy-Con's motion-sensing capabilities to allow players to perform intuitive physical gestures in battle. Alongside the release, the Ver 2.60 update will roll out the same day, adding another control scheme, "Smart Control+", designed to lower the entry barrier, as well as a new battle system, "Chain Strike," offering deeper combo possibilities and tactical variety for advanced players. Furthermore, the Switch 2 version will feature data-linked bonuses tied to the ARPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Horizon, granting special perks to players with save data from that title. This move strengthens the cross-game ecosystem of the Granblue Fantasy IP and delivers a more complete fighting game experience to Switch 2 owners. For fighting game enthusiasts and Granblue Fantasy fans alike, this release is a significant addition worth watching.
