Development
Granblue Fantasy: Relink was announced under the title of Granblue Fantasy Project Re: Link in August 2016, to be developed by a collaboration between PlatinumGames and Cygames. Some of the game's staff include composers Nobuo Uematsu and Tsutomu Narita, and artist Hideo Minaba.[1] In September 2016, the PlayStation 4 as the target platform was announced.[2] The game is set in the same fictional realm as the original Granblue Fantasy but takes place in a different location, although some characters from the original game will appear.[3]
The first public gameplay was shown at GranBlue Fes 2017.[4] In a late 2017 issue of Dengeki PlayStation, director Tetsuya Fukuhara described some gameplay details - the game includes four person co-operative multiplayer, or, single person play with three AI characters.[5] In July 2018 localization of the game was announced for English, German, Italian, French, and Spanish languages.[6] Its official title, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, was revealed in December 2018.[7] In February 2019 it was announced that PlatinumGames would no longer be involved in the project, leaving Cygames to handle the rest of development.[8]
