Granblue Fantasy: Relink is adding mass Sigil transmutation in a future update, and it's already being praised as a welcome addition by players.
Developer Cygames just announced several brand-new features for an upcoming version of Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Among the improvements is the option to transmute multiple Sigils at once, massively cutting down a grind for many players.
More quality of life updates are coming to #Relink Version 1.1.0, including previously requested expanded camera sensitivity and lock on options!But that's not all—mass sigil transmutation and updated key binding options are currently in the works for a future update!March 14, 2024
"AAAH mass transmutation!!! Love that!! thank you so much," writes one Twitter user in the response to the tweet from Cygames just above, to which another user adds, "We really about to be eating." Meanwhile, another user writes, "Thank you. Transmutation as it currently is honestly makes me want to quit. You spend more time transmuting than actually playing the game."
Sigil transmutation is done entirely via Siero's Knicknack shop, which can be found in the major towns of Granblue Fantasy: Relink. You can take three levels of Knickknack Vouchers to Siero and exchange them to transmute Sigils, and these Sigils can then be taken and put into the weapons of any character you've unlocked to level up the correspond weapon. Transmuting normal Sigils also nets resources to spend on special, higher-quality Sigils, and providing fodder for this becomes the primary use of transmutation in the endgame once you've outpaced the vanilla Sigil pool.
The fact that Relink only lets you transmute one Sigil at a time with Siero was pretty time-consuming stuff, as the previous comments attest to. With Relink being the sort of JRPG that you can easily sink north of 60 or even 100 hours into, especially if you're getting stuck into the endgame missions, transmuting one Sigil at a time could really be a pain the more Knickknack Vouchers you accrued.
Elsewhere, we have a few new features coming to Relink in update 1.1.0, out today on March 14. There's four new MTX packs coming to the game, for one, each of which will be available for $2.99 each. All four packs revolve around increasing a boosting a character's gear or weapon level, as well as uncapping said level, so you can pick up a brief boost for relatively cheap if you'd rather not grind.

Following a bit of a tease last week, Yellow Brick Games — the studio founded by former Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw — has properly revealed its new third-person action adventure, Eternal Strands, which is coming to PC and consoles next year.
No Rest for the Wicked, the Diablo-esque action RPG in the works at Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps studio Moon, won't be $70. CEO Thomas Mahler says the game's price point is down to the nature of the team, their shared stance on the rising price of games, and the notable lack of shareholders pawing at the company's books.
We're still waiting on a release date, but Visions of Mana still looks really promising in its latest gameplay trailer. It's a pretty short video — clocking in at just over a minute — but there's quite a lot of stuff on show. It's got a bit of traversal, some combo-based combat, and confirms that your party members will be able to master different character classes.
The Trailblazer's Light Cone and relics for different paths will be saved separately from each other in Honkai: Star Rail version 2.2, as per a beta leak. Earlier this week, a new leak about the Trailblazer surfaced online, suggesting the protagonist of Honkai: Star Rail will receive their third form locked into the Harmony path and Imaginary element. As players might expect, the Harmony Trailblazer will take on the buffer role and bring a new playstyle into the space RPG.

Stellar Blade doesn't have a photo mode, but its developer will consider adding one if fans make enough noise, and we're sure they will.
Korean developer Shift Up first made a name for itself with mobile games like 2016’s Destiny Child, a turn-based RPG, and 2022’s Goddess of Victory: Nikke, an on-rails third-person shooter. Now, Shift Up is throwing its hat into the ring of AAA game development with Stellar Blade, an action game starring a young woman named Eve who is trying to reclaim Earth from an invading alien species. The developer’s first attempt at crafting a premium console experience is already much stronger than I expected.
In an effort to extend Persona 3 Reload for as long as humanly possible, one player has ground out the remake's combat until their stats were totally maxed, just like the good-old days.
