Cygames confirmed the highly anticipated Lucilius boss battle will arrive with version 1.1.0 of Granblue Fantasy: Relink on Mar. 14.
While nothing else was revealed about the upcoming update, there will be a special live event on Mar. 9 in celebration of 10 years of Granblue Fantasy with more information.
For those unfamiliar with Lucilius, he is one of the hardest raid bosses in Granblue Fantasy. Not only does he have high requirements, especially those who dare to take on his Impossible Hard version, there is more to the fight than meets the eyes.
It will be interesting to see how this translates to Granblue Fantasy: Relink, as there are already fairly formidable bosses to overcome. And, more importantly, what rewards he offers for what is presumably a sizable challenge.
For those who still haven’t given Granblue Fantasy: Relink a go, you can find the official overview below. And, for those looking for a bit more, you can also check out our review.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink Overview
Story
Granblue Fantasy takes place in the Sky Realm, a world where myriad islands float in a great blue expanse. Take your role as captain of a skyfaring crew, joined by a scrappy little dragon named Vyrn and a young girl with mysterious powers named Lyria. Together you sail with a colorful cast of crewmates, including kings and misfits alike, for Estalucia, a fabled island beyond the end of the skies.
In the Zegagrande Skydom, islands are guarded by powerful creatures known as primal beasts and winds carry tales of a secretive organization known as the Church of Avia. Unveil a web of intrigue reaching far beyond the borders of Zegagrande and engage in a battle for the fate of the Sky Realm itself.
Gameplay
Engage in real-time combat with a party of four in this character action RPG—choose from a diverse roster of skyfarers, each with their own unique weapons, skills, and combat styles. Teamwork makes the dream work with party-based mechanics such as Link Attacks and Chain Bursts to help you crush foes in spectacular fashion. Tackle quests solo or with the help of others for up to 4-player co-op and take down treacherous foes to score rare loot to further enhance your gear. Every enemy and party formation has its own strengths and weaknesses—the key to victory lies in working out how these pieces fit together.
