SEGA has released new details about Granblue Fantasy: Relink, providing information about the setting, primal beasts, and the initial roster of playable characters.
Here’s what you need to know about Granblue Fantasy: Relink:
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – The World
There exists a world where islands of all shapes and sizes float in a sea of clouds. It is a world forsaken by the gods. Once upon a time, people known as the Astrals attempted to seize control of this world with their overwhelming might, but the citizens of the skies repelled the invaders, thus ushering in a new era of peace. Living on a little-known island in a remote part of the skies, you find a letter left behind by your father telling you to set off for a legendary island. However, before you leave, you meet a mysterious girl named Lyria, inevitably setting the wheels of fate in motion.
Welcome to the Zegagrande Skydom
The legendary Island of the Astrals, Estalucia, is still out there, waiting to greet you intrepid travelers. But until then, the journey continues in the skies to the west, where a new story will unfold.
Born to the Wind, Citizens among the Clouds
The Sky Realm is home to numerous islands and their people. Four races have come together to shape civilization.
Primal Beasts, Living Weapons Made by the Astrals
Created by the Astrals, these great beasts were gifted with god-like powers. In the aftermath of the War—which ended roughly 500 years ago—the remaining beasts fell into a slumber throughout the skies, where their presence deeply influenced the development of local customs. Primal beasts only obey the Astrals, thus the rampage of an awakened primal is akin to a grand-scale calamity. However, some people possess a devout belief that these divine beings are a part of nature and thus shouldn’t be pacified.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Primal Beasts

You’ll have five companions at the start of the game—Katalina, Rackam, Io, Eugen, and Rosetta—and their number will increase as you progress through the story. Each time, you’ll have the choice to recruit new characters to join your ranks. Additionally, you’ll be able to switch the main character’s appearance at any time.
Main Character (Players will have the option to choose one of two main character appearance options.)
Katalina – Skybound Protector Katalina once swore an oath of knighthood to the Erste Empire, but those days are long behind her. Her knightly duty continues, though now in the service of protecting Lyria.
Rackam – Skybound Navigator Helmsman of the airship Grandcypher, he can be as untamed as the open skies.
Io – Skybound Dreamer Don’t let her small size fool you. This young mage is eager to showcase her impressive talent. She vows to bring smiles to the world.
