Basically outside of maybe Yuel, Granblue Fantasy Versus didn’t really go after big crossovers like the original mobile game, but they’re almost wasting no time to do so in the new fighting game.
Cygames made an announcement at Frosty Faustings XVI this weekend to give fans an update on 2B from Nier: Automata’s release date in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising as well as showing off the next exclusive costume coming to the Battle Pass.
For starters, 2B will be arriving as the second DLC character for the game after Lucilius on February 20, 2024 as part of the Version 1.20 update for GBVSR.
There will also apparently be some more additions and changes coming with that patch as well with Cygames confirming that weapon cutouts will be available to be equipped in online lobbies too plus more planned.

Finally, there was the reveal of Zeta’s Crimson Bomber costume that’ll be exclusive to the next Premium Battle Pass just like we’re seeing for Black Butterfly Narmaya now by maxing out all 60 levels, which is not available to those on the free version of Rising.
While Director Fukuhara couldn’t be at @FrostyFaustings in person, he did have a special message to share with everyone regarding the upcoming update!
More details will be revealed soon. The Version 1.2 update goes live Feb 20!#FFXVI2024 #GBVSR pic.twitter.com/sd8CyHzWbR
