There’s very little movement in the NieR franchise, but Square Enix continues to license blindfolded character 2B to, well, everyone. Fulfilling her role as a compulsory crossover character for the umpteenth time, Cygames has revealed she’ll be added to anime fighter Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising in February.
For those who play the game, she’ll be preceded by Lucilius in January, while Vane and Beatrix will follow in April and May respectively. Two currently unannounced characters will also be added in August and October. Each fighter will come with a premium lobby avatar character, and there are other updates on the way, including new stages, minigames, and costumes.
We liked the PS5 and PS4 revamp a lot in our review: “Rising is the game that the original Granblue Fantasy Versus should have been, and while it's a bit cheeky that players are being asked to pay for it all over again – with yet more DLC characters incoming – it's hard to argue with the overall package. This is a gorgeous fighter that feels great to play.” It got an impressive 8/10!

Dammit after all these years and the crossovers... her design still gets me every time!
Neato, is what I say, Push Square, neato indeed!
Rejoice!!! This is great news.
That Weight of the World remix WOWWWW
This is crazy big. This is arguably the first ever crossover character for an anime fighter by ArcSys and god damn this is a crazy one. Still have yet to play Automata but this is a really cool get for Granblue. I bet this will help the game out a lot
@Olmaz She must be one of the most iconic characters in gaming now.
Cool. First Soulcalibur VI and now GF Versus: Rising. Next future fighting game appearance for 2B: Smash 6 (if nothing else before then).
This is actually a really cool crossover and makes me want to get the game.
@Fighting_Game_Loser Are you not counting Cross Tag Battle? They had RWBY characters at launch, but also added Arcana Heart and Senran Kagura characters later.
We can all pretty much agree that 2B is the best original character from the PS4 era.
Just have 2B in every fighting game.
@Cloud7794 Oh yeah I guess that's true, but its definitely not as major of a crossover as this is, since BBTAG is already a crossover game and its not as unexpected as this
@Deadlyblack There's actually a free version of the game you can download and just try out if you're curious! Has almost full online play and everything available for you to test out how you enjoy the game!
Awesome look like GBVSR is doing better then Strive and I like that.
Man this make me want to replay nier automata again, what a good game. It's criminal squareenix didn't immediately make a sequel (with yoko taro & platinum of course) for this series, I hope we'll get nier automata 2 this gen 😃
