Steam Beloved 92% Rated RPG Releases Free Sample Of Huge New DLC

If you’re an avid player of Granblue Fantasy: Relink, you’re in the right place – and if you’re not, well, perhaps you could be with an open mind.

Developed by Cygames, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is an action RPG that can be enjoyed solo or with friends via four-player co-op.

Just over two years on from launch, it’s on the precipice of releasing a major new DLC expansion, Endless Ragnarok, which is now available to trial on Steam for free.

To set the scene, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is set within the Sky Realm, which is a series of floating islands.

You step into the shoes of a captain of a “skyfaring crew” as you head out in search of “a fabled island beyond the end of the skies”.

Utilising real-time and party-based combat, Granblue Fantasy: Relink sees players partake in their fair share of skirmishes against primal beasts and the secretive Church of Avia organisation.

Endless Ragnarok Builds Upon Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s 100-Hour-Plus Runtime

Endless Ragnarok expands the base game by introducing new characters, new stories, and new game modes.

“Although the Astral Lilith’s machinations lay thwarted, winds of change begin to stir within the Zegagrande Skydom,” begins the expansion’s description.

“Strange beings called the ‘ragnalia’ herald the end times. Mysterious gateways beckon would-be challengers into a realm of chaos. And even the mighty Beelzebub, with his wings of steel, descends upon Zegagrande.”

One of the key additions in the expansion is the new ability to call forth summons, which should totally transform battling for those who already have hundreds of hours of Granblue Fantasy: Relink.

Your summons may even be able to make use of a special attack called a primal burst, which sounds as if it’ll pack a punch.

There are also new boss fights, additional co-op quest tiers, as well as the new Conflux game mode which is a solo mode made of “unpredictable challenges”.

Endless Ragnarok’s Demo Has Also Dropped On PlayStation And Nintendo Switch 2

The Endless Ragnarok DLC launches in full on 9 July. As mentioned, there’s a comprehensive free demo available on Steam as well as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

It features an early slice of the base game, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, to accommodate new players as well as new quests that’ll allow players to try the newly added summons.

The demo also boasts a handy tutorial mode.

“Play through quests either solo or with others. Cross-play matchmaking with other platforms is available in the demo, with a total of four different quests to try,” devs outlined.

“Complete the three available quests to unlock the fourth quest, ‘Sephira’s Sanguine Glimmer,’ which allows access to Summons, an all-new battle mechanic.

“Each quest grants rewards upon completion that may be redeemed in the full game of Granblue Fantasy: Relink or Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Endless Ragnarok.”

Adjustments and fixes have been made since the last beta, if you partook in that. It is noted that demo content may vary from the full game and, unfortunately, save progress won’t carry over.

If you decide to try this DLC demo out on Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation instead, you thankfully don’t need a PlayStation Plus or Nintendo Switch Online membership to try the online features.

There’s no word on how long the demo is sticking around for, so as always, it’s perhaps better to act sooner rather than later.
