Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising Will Debut a New Character at EVO 2024

The new character is reportedly Versusia, who was datamined alongside other upcoming characters. She'll be playable for attendees.

This year’s Evolution Championship Series, or EVO, is right around the corner and Cygames’ Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is one of the main titles. That’s not all, as the publisher will have a dedicated booth and preview demo for Version 1.50, showcasing a brand new character who’s playable.

While the teaser image only showcases a silhouette, there are reports that this could be Versusia (with a datamine reportedly revealing her in-game appearance last year). Originally appearing in the Story Mode as Rein, she’s the mother of Gran and Djeeta, who transforms into Versusia with the help of the Versus Core.

Time will tell if she’s the next DLC character, so stay tuned for EVO 2024 from July 19th to 21st. The preview demo also features balance changes for Gran and Lucilius, so expect other adjustments when Version 1.50 drops.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is available for PS4, PS5 and PC. Check out our review here.
