Granblue Fantasy: Relink shares info on setting, Primal Beasts, and playable characters

SEGA and Cygames are continuing to hype up Granblue Fantasy: Relink by sharing new details on the game’s setting, the Primal Beasts, and the playable characters. This new info comes shortly after we got a look at the game’s story and art.

For this new info drop, we got details on the game’s world which is described as:

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.

Also shared were two locations. The first is Zegagrande Skydom, the legendary Island of the Astrals, Estalucia, Then there’s the Sky Realm which is home to four races that have come together to shape civilization.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink – Primal Beasts

Also shared were details on the Primal Beasts. These beasts were created by the Astrals and boast god-like powers.

Following the War 500 years ago, the Primal Beasts fell into a slumber. But when one awakens, they rampage as they only obey the Astrals.

One of these Primal Beasts is Proto Bahamut which can be summoned by joining forces with Lyria.

There’s also Furycane, a primal beast that governs vitality.
