Sandalphon was actually revealed for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising as far back as July 2024, but today is the first time we’ve seen anything of his gameplay. The full trailer was released near the conclusion of Cygames Cup 2025.
This new DLC fighter has now been officially scheduled to join the roster on February 26, 2025. Players will be able to purchase him for $7.99.
Funnily enough, Sandalphon’s intro is very similar to that of Jin’s from Tekken 8. He holds his hand out as a feather slowly falls onto it, resulting in him closing it into a fist.
Sandalphon is a six-winged archangel with strong convictions. Of course, all six wings will only appear while Sandalphon performs the animation of his most powerful attack.
Based on his gameplay in the trailer, Sandalphon appears to have a relatively well-rounded kit. He’s good at fighting up close, but he’s also shown to have powerful projectiles in his arsenal.
At one point, an opponent is shown performing an attack against Sandalphon while airborne. However, Sandalphon is able to easily overpower the attempt with a move that seems specifically designed as an anti-air.
