Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok Open Beta Date and Details Announced!
The adventure begins anew for skyfarers! Developer and publisher Cygames has officially announced that the open beta test for Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok, a massive expansion for the popular action RPG, will begin on April 24, 2026. The seven-minute comprehensive reveal trailer accompanying the announcement offers players exciting hints about new mechanics and story elements.
The open beta process will begin on April 24 at 10:00 AM TRT and continue until April 27 at 9:59 AM TRT. Players will be able to pre-load the beta version starting April 23. The beta will include 12 playable characters (including the fan-favorite Beatrix), an offline training mode, and four different online quests. Notably, the fourth quest, "Sephira's Sanguine Glimmer", will offer the first opportunity to experience the newly added Summons mechanic and the Primal Burst ability, which requires team coordination.
The Granblue Fantasy: Relink journey has a deep history in the gaming world. First announced in 2016 and initially developed in partnership with PlatinumGames, the project was later moved entirely under the Cygames umbrella. The original game, released in February 2024, achieved great success by quickly surpassing the one million sales mark. Endless Ragnarok aims to take this success even further with support for next-generation consoles, particularly the Nintendo Switch 2.
Cygames has also made a great gesture to help new players warm up to the universe. The first seven episodes of the Granblue Fantasy: The Animation series and the first volume of the Granblue Fantasy manga have been made available for free until July 31, 2026. This move creates an excellent entry point for fans unfamiliar with the story ahead of the full release on July 9, 2026.
The game will be released simultaneously on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC (Steam), and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms. Existing owners of Granblue Fantasy: Relink will be able to upgrade to the standard edition for $29.99 or the special edition for $54.99. For new players, the bundle containing the base game and the expansion will be available for $59.99. We would like to remind you that cross-play support will also be tested during the beta process.
