A new trailer advertising an upcoming DLC character for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising was recently dropped on Cygames EN’s YouTube channel. Indeed, it turns out that 2B from Nier: Automata will be a guest character in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising.
Nier: Automata was a game released back in 2017 with PlatinumGames as the developer and Square Enix as the publisher. Of course, it should be noted that this isn’t 2B’s first time as a guest character in a fighting game as she also appeared in SoulCalibur 6.
Being that 2B is a combat android, she’s a bit out of place within the Granblue Fantasy universe. Needless to say, her advanced vocabulary appears to have Gran confused in the opening part of the trailer.
Following this, we get a brief look at 2B’s gameplay. As expected, she has tremendous reach that’s extended thanks to the usage of her sword.
A number of 2B’s attacks will even utilize her companion support unit, Pod 042. With these attacks, Pod 042 will actually fire a volley of machine gun bullets at the opponent.
2B is scheduled to be released sometime in late February 2024. She’s being priced at $7.99.
