Additionally, the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 version of GBVSR and a bonus feature linking save data with "GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink - Endless Ragnarok" have been confirmed.
GBVSR Update Ver. 2.60 Set for Release on September 17!
The release of GBVSR’s latest update, Version 2.60, is set for Thursday, September 17, 2026!
This update will introduce numerous changes, including the addition of the new playable character “ Ido.”
Major Additions and Adjustments in Ver 2.60
- Addition of the new playable character "Ido"
- Addition of the new stage "Einsted Islands"
- New Common Actions Added
- Adjustments to Existing Common Actions
- Character battle adjustments
- New Costumes
New Playable Character "Ido" Joins the Fight!
As the 12th DLC character for GBVSR, " Ido "—a key character in the story of the action RPG " GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink "—joins the fray as a new DLC character!
The greatest swordsman in the Zega Grande airspace, who stood in the protagonists’ way, is now joining GBVSR in full force.
PR TIMES
How will Ido—known as the “Dark Shattering Blade” and imbued with the power of the Dragon of Destruction—interact with the other GBVSR characters?
Since this character isn’t even playable in the main “Granblue Fantasy” game yet, all Sky Knights should definitely check this out.
YouTube
The trailer also features a scene where Ido performs an aerial combo—a rarity in GBVSR.
Is this a trait unique to Ido, or is it a new shared system to be added in an update?
We’ll have to wait for further updates to find out the details.
GBVSR for Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on September 17!
GBVSR is finally coming to Nintendo Switch 2.
In the Nintendo Switch 2 version, all 40 characters—including the new character “Ido” and all previously released DLC characters—will be playable.
It also supports local wireless multiplayer when players bring their own Nintendo Switch 2 consoles, letting you enjoy simple one-button special moves “anytime,” “anywhere,” and “with any character.”
Of course, it includes all the content that makes GBVSR so appealing, such as the extensive Story Mode and “Digital Figure Mode.”
Stay tuned for further updates on product details.
A "GBVSR" × "GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink - Endless Ragnarok" save data linkage bonus has also been announced!
Bonus content linked to save data from " GRANBLUE FANTASY: Relink - Endless Ragnarok," releasing on Thursday, July 9, 2026, has been confirmed!
In GBVSR, you can obtain save data link bonuses such as Ido’s weapon skin—which will be released in Version 2.60—and the lobby avatar “Luria (Savior Priestess),” which can be used in GBVSR.
I never expected the "Fried Shrimp Sword" to be a bonus item.
But this is also a faithful recreation of the original game.
The save data link for GBVSR is scheduled to be released on Thursday, September 17, 2026.
We recommend taking this opportunity to dive deeper into the world of GBF—Granblue Fantasy.
For future updates, including the new playable character “Ido,” please check the official “Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising” website and the official “Granblue Fantasy Versus” X account ( @gbvs_official ).
