Today, Cygames announced an official open beta test for the upcoming enhanced rerelease of Granblue Fantasy: Relink, titled Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok. Relink is a Monster Hunter-style action RPG, where players embark on various missions, either with a party of NPCs or online players, to defeat bosses, enemies, and explore various islands throughout the skies.
Endless Ragnarok's open beta will take place from April 24th 7 AM to April 27th at 6:59 AM, with preload starting at 7 AM on the 23rd (all times in UTC). The open beta will feature an offline tutorial, 12 playable characters, 4 online quests, and one of this version's new features: Summons.
Four quests will be playable during the open beta. Upon completing the first three, "Sephira's Sanguine Glimmer" will unlock as the fourth quest. The new Summons mechanic will be available in this quest, along with Primal Burst—an enhanced version of the Full Burst, which requires full coordination from the party to activate. Additionally, as with the closed beta test, Beatrix will be playable once more. This open beta test supports online multiplayer and cross-platform play.
To prepare for the game, Cygames released an introduction movie recapping the events of the original Granblue Fantasy mobile game.
Additionally, the first seven episodes of the anime are free to watch on YouTube until July 31st, and the first volume of the manga has been made free to read until that date as well via Kodansha.
The beta and the game will be available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with the full game launching on July 9th. For more on Granblue Fantasy, check out our original review of Relink below, and stay tuned to GamingTrend.
