Beatrix will be the fourth DLC character to appear in the second Granblue Fantasy fighting game release. The first three characters were Lucilius, Vane, and NieR: Automata's 2B. According to a roadmap published in late December 2023, Cygames is also planning to add two more DLC characters in August 2024 and October 2024. All six characters released in 2024 are also available for purchase simultaneously via the first Character Pass.

Beatrix will appear as a DLC playable character for Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising on May 23, 2024. The fighting game has been available worldwide on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam.

A Guilty Gear Strive Epos Visa credit card will debut in Japan on March 15, 2024. If you fulfill certain conditions when you sign up for a card, you’ll be able to receive a canvas board of he art on the card. [Thanks, Marui Anime!]

There are two versions of the Guilty Gear Strive Epos card. One of them has a close-up of Sol Badguy. The other one has the Guilty Gear 25th Anniversary logo on it. If you already have an Epos card, but you want to switch to one of these designs, you’ll need to pay an additional 1000 JPY fee.

Kenta Asano, a 2D illustrator for the game, was the one who drew the Sol art that’s on the card and the canvas board. If you want to be able to get it, you’ll need to either sign up for a Guilty Gear Epos card or switch to it from your current Epos card. After that, you need to make purchases totalling over 10,000 JPY within three months. This is the only way to legitimately obtain the canvas board, since it’s not for sale.

Guilty Gear Strive first came out in 2021 as the next mainline title for the Guilty Gear series. It plays somewhat differently than previous games in the entry, such as adding in the Wall Break feature. In August 2022, about a year after its initial release, Arc System Works announced that it sold over 1 million units of Guilty Gear Strive, which was a first for the company.

Guilty Gear Strive is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.

A new patch added NieR: Automata DLC character 2B to the roster of Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, and it appeared alongside a new video guide overviewing her moves. Additionally, Arc System Works and Cygames released details about what else update 1.21 brings to the game.

As the video, explains, 2B plays quite differently to the other fighters in Versus Rising, having several basic combo strings with options to mix-up the finisher. Players will also have a second resource gauge to manage, which is expended by the use of certain skills.

While the star of the update is 2B herself, the patch also features the addition of an Oceania server region, weekly challenges with Rupee rewards, and some new Weapon Cutouts to equip to your lobby avatars.
