Cygames, Inc. has announced the third free major update coming to the action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam on May 31st, 2024. Included in this update are challenging new quests, new playable character Sandalphon, Photo Mode, and other additional content.
The free update Version 1.3.0 introduces an all-new playable character: Sandalphon, protector of the Sky Realm. Originally debuted in the Granblue Fantasy browser game, Sandalphon became leader of the four primarchs: angelic beings who govern the four elements. Now he descends upon Relink to lend his blade to the crew’s cause.
Sandalphon is free to unlock by completing certain in-game requirements. Alternatively, players may opt to purchase his Character Expansion Set (paid DLC) to unlock him immediately.
Included with this update are three challenging quests which pit players against several powerful boss-level monsters. Additionally, Lucilius, who appeared in the Version 1.1.0 update as the game’s most perilous foe, will take on an even more menacing form in a new quest dubbed “Zero.” This fight promises to test the limits of even the most battle-hardened skyfarers.
Photo Mode is another addition coming in this update. Using its various tools and features, players can set up perfect shots of their Relink adventure. Skyfaring photographers with higher aspirations are also encouraged to participate in Relink’s Photo Contest, which is accepting entries as of today.
Other update features include Sigil Synthesis, which allows players to fuse legendary sigils to mix sigil traits; a map overlay, which displays key locations, treasure chests, and wee pincers; as well as new control scheme options. Check the Version 1.3.0 patch notes here for more details.
