All members of character roster playable in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising open beta

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising is a sequel to the original game, which means a huge character roster, new playable choices, mechanics, and more. We’ve covered some of the new features recently, of which there are several to be excited about.

When it comes to the full release character roster of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, there will be four new characters: Anila, Siegfried, Nier, and Grimnir. However, only two of those will be playable in the open beta.

Here’s the full roster of playable characters:

• Gran
• Djeeta
• Katalina
• Charlotta
• Lancelot
• Percival
• Ladiva
• Metera
• Lowain
• Ferry
• Zeta
• Vaseraga
• Narmaya
• Soriz
• Zooey
• Cagliostro
• Yuel
• Anre
• Eustace
• Seox
• Vira
• Beelzebub
• Belial
• Avatar Belial
• Anila
• Siegfried

This means players will have a huge roster of 26 characters to play, with two of them being brand-new to the fighting game. This Open Beta for Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising will also have a training mode, so you can learn how these characters function before going into lobbies or casual matches with friends.

In addition to the massive roster, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising will have several very important features to test during this limited-time Open Beta. Crossplay will be available for the PlayStation and Steam users that take part, so it’s important to dive into that and see if it’s functioning properly. The game will also have Rollback Netcode, a must-have for fighting games in the modern era.

As the game is a sequel, it’s likely that a fair amount of the roster will have updated movesets, rebalanced damage and combos, things of that nature. It’s unknown to what extent the cast will be adjusted, but players can certainly expect it, alongside new mechanics, stages, and much more.
