Cygames’ Granblue Fantasy: Relink is getting some new content on March 14th, with infamous villain Lucilius becoming available as a new boss battle. Fans can expect more details on March 9th during the Granblue Fantasy 10th Birthday Live Special, so stay tuned. The studio teased taking “slightly longer” than initially planned to prepare the fight but hopes players look forward to it.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink Sells Over 1 Million Copies in a Super Busy Release Schedule | Push Square
14.02.2024 - 00:40 / pushsquare.com / Xenoblade Chronicles
We must admit, Granblue Fantasy: Relink's release date had us worried for a while. The action RPG — which we awarded a rock solid 8/10 in our review — launched just a day before the heavily marketed Persona 3 Reload, and just a week after the highly rated Tekken 8 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It felt like a bit of a suicide mission, but Relink's actually managed to do well for itself — especially given the circumstances.
Indeed, Relink's racked up more than 1 million sales in under two weeks (retail and digital copies included, worldwide). We don't really know what level of success Cygames had been targeting, but that's got to be considered some kind of win.

Big in everywhere
The developer has stated that Relink will not follow a live service model despite its leanings towards online play — but it will be getting at least three big updates in the relatively near future. The first is due in early March, the second in April, and the third in May. They'll add «a new quest, new playable characters, and other surprises». It'll be interesting to see if Relink remains popular as these updates arrive.

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.
Hoping to pick this up at the weekend, so one million and one copies!
Really looking forward to venturing into this one!
I don't understand the appeal. There are a million other anime games similar to this one. There is even less new stuff here than in a brand new AC game. Anime fans are probably the easiest demographic to please.
Im quite enjoying it. Chapter 6 of however many there are. Im happy its on the shorter side of things that the classic 60h long rpgs that were used to. Looking forward to leveling up all the characters and doing aome post game high lvl quests.
Great success! PlayStation is killing it right now.
Tried the demo, enjoyed it quite a bit. Reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles mechanics with better graphics (XC is really held back by the under-powered platform). I'll pick it up eventually, that's for sure.
Between the recent big hitters like Tekken 8 and upcoming games like FFVII Rebirth, I'm happy that Relink did very well. I'm really enjoying the game despite not knowing much about GranBlue's lore. This might become a sleeper hit and will be buried under these major releases but nonetheless, kudos to Cygames for hitting a million. We jrpg fans are eating good!
I'm on the last
