Just over a month away from its PS5 and PS4 release, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is getting new gameplay footage on the regular, and this latest chunk of combat from Famitsu is a treat. The 20-minute video focuses on several multiplayer boss fights (which are also playable solo with CPU allies). As we keep saying, the action RPG looks super promising, especially as full teams of four can coordinate their attacks to rack up huge combos and deal crazy damage.
It should be noted that Relink also has a single-player campaign, but these Monster Hunter-esque missions are designed to keep players coming back. Indeed, it's shaping up to be quite the complete package.
