The developer of Granblue Fantasy: Relink announces that after a long period of silence, the cooperative action-RPG will be finally getting some new information later this month. Fans anticipating this new game have been through a rather rocky ride concerning its release. It was originally announced in 2017 and started out as a collaboration between Cygames and PlatinumGames, as the latter was best known for its high-quality action games like Bayonetta. That changed in 2019, as it was then brought back to be developed in-house by Cygames instead.

Fans got an extensive look at the game under this new direction, with a beautiful new trailer for Granblue Fantasy: Relink released in December 2021. It showed off the various worlds that can be explored, the many playable characters, along with snippets of the action gameplay. While it was initially slated to be released worldwide in 2022, fans were hit with another delay in June, with Cygames announcing that it will be taking time to polish up the game and will be releasing the game the following year. The patience of these fans will seemingly be rewarded later this month as new information about the game will be revealed then.

This announcement was posted on the game's official Twitter account, where it wishes fans a happy new year. It also states that the development of Granblue Fantasy: Relink is in "full swing," according to a rough translation, and the development team is working hard to improve the quality. The tweet also states that there will be new footage of the game shown at Granblue Fes 2023, which will be revealed on January 21.

Granblue Fes is a special event that is held by Cygames, where it focuses on the mobile game IP and its related spin-offs for consoles. This includes special events such as a concert, a Q&A session, and more. This event will have new information regarding the Granblue Fantasy Versus fighting game and Relink, with the latter getting a playable demo on the show floor. Fans are hoping that Cygames will reveal a release date for the game at this event as well.

Fans have been through the wringer regarding this game, as it traded hands between developers along with long periods of silence during its six-year development cycle. With a big event like Granblue Fes, Cygames is likely going to focus on pushing the marketing before its launch as it is a highly anticipated release. Fans will have to see if the game was indeed worth the wait and anxiety later this year.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink will launch in 2023 for PC, PS4, and PS5.
