Gamescom’s first batch of big announcements includes another shift for theGranblue Fantasy Relinkrelease date. During today’s Opening Night Live, Cygames revealed its mobile game-turned-action-RPG will launch on August 08, 2025.
For those keeping track, yes—that is indeed a delay. Originally, theGBFopen-world adventure was set to launch sometime this year, in 2023. The new date’s trailer also showed off a few of Cygames’ extra goodies, including a Deluxe and Collector’s Edition. The beefier of the two includes a Proto Bahamut statue.
So far, Cygames has confirmed several familiar faces from its gacha hit forRelink. We’ve seen series hero Lyria and her bodyguard, Katalina. The swordswoman Narmaya, dragonslayer Siegfried, ghostly Ferry, and, of course, both designs for the mobile version’s silent player avatar. As you adventure with old and new series companions, players can invite a friend along for the ride; theGBFaction game supports up to four players for co-op.
