A new story trailer for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising was recently dropped on YouTube by Cygames EN. During this trailer, Lucilius is revealed to be a boss character within the game.
According to the official GBVS Twitter account, Lucilius will also be released as a DLC character for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. He’ll become available sometime in January 2024.
“Once again risen from death, the king of fallen angels returns to the Sky Realm with a fell purpose — to crush the singularities and bring about the end of days,” as says the character description for Lucilius dropped on the GBVS Twitter account.
During the trailer, a small snippet of gameplay shows Lucilius fighting with Beelzebub. Not much is shown, but Lucilius can be observed blocking a bunch of Beelzebub’s attacks before Beelzebub is punished by some sort of super.
Following this, there’s also a scene depicting Gran facing off with Lucilius, though this is likely a story segment due to the camera angle. Regardless, it appears that Lucilius is able to get the upper hander over Gran during the exchange.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is expected to be released on December 14, 2023. Check out the story trailer below:
