Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising introduces Siegfried, beta now set for July

Publisher Cygames and developer Arc System Works shared a new trailer for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising introducing another playable character.

The new trailer introduces playable character Siegfried, a reveal alongside news announcing the previously delayed beta is now set for the middle of July.

Here’s the full message from creative director Tetsuya Fukuhara:

Update on the Online Beta Release Schedule

Attention, skyfarers! Our team has worked through many of the stability issues that forced us to delay the Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising online beta. We are now preparing the beta client for launch.

The new release date is scheduled for mid-July. We realize that’s nearly two months later than originally planned, and you have our sincerest apologies. As for the release of the game itself, we’re still on track to meet our initial target. Concrete dates will be announced after beta testing concludes.

Last but not least, as promised in the new Siegfried trailer dropped today, the third addition to the GBVSR roster will be revealed in early July. That announcement will be followed by a spate of others detailing new mechanics, game modes, and more. Be sure to stay tuned!
