Today, we had a special stream for the 7th anniversary of Granblue Fantasy and although the main focus was the game of origin and what is happening on this happy occasion, the developers had already confirmed that we would see our next Granblue Fantasy Versus character revealed at the event and they actually delivered.
The fifth character of the second season of Granblue Fantasy Versus was revealed to be Eustace, who will join the list in late April as the next member of this wave of content after Belial, Cagliostro, Yuel and Anre.
Although we were unable to see any of Eustace’s gameplay at this point, we saw his model in the game and it was promised that the next game trailer, presumably being the full reveal of the character’s gameplay, will be released on April 15th.
Along with Eustace, we were also able to see a new stage of the Dydroit Belt that will enter the game alongside Eustace in late April.
Eustace will be the first weapon user in the game, representing a weapon previously not seen on the list, and his style of play has been described as being a medium-range fighter who not only uses his reliable lightning rifle, but also uses knives and grenades and stands out in the middle range.
As a member of the Society, the same group that current members of the Zeta and Vaseraga list are part of, Eustace is currently highly relevant in the most recent Granblue Fantasy event, Stay Moon. In RPG mode, he will join Beatrix, a member of the society, who is getting a full 3D model, although there is no word on any potential playable status for her at this time.
We also got a quick look at the characters’ new colors and weapons that will be part of the game’s third battle pass. You can see the images of the content below.
