The numbers are in! Granblue Fantasy Relink has sold 1 million copies worldwide in less than two weeks! Awesome! Let’s keep going! I’ve been too busy to play much of it yet…
With every game release, there are certain milestones that are important for products to hit, and one of the first ones is at the 1 million copies sold mark in addition to the length of time from the initial release.

There are only a couple more days before the release of Cygames long anticipated Granblue Fantasy Relink. There’s still time to get your pre-orders in!
in anticipation for the up-coming release, Cygames released the final teaser trailer, which you can view below:
Below are some interesting parts that I picked up from the trailer.
▲ Here we see some of the villains, notably Id and Lilith, the leader of the Pilgrims of Avia.
Lilith looks absolutely frightening. I wonder if she might actually be a Primal Beast in disguise…?
▲ Not sure if we’ve seen much of her before, but here we got a brief glimpse of Djeeta, the female version of the protagonist. I’ve heard from many GBF fans that they play as her, although I am not one of them. Gran seems the most “canon” of the two, since his name is part of the series title… But one could argue that since we’re dealing with the multiverse in this series that everything is basically “canon”…
▲ This shot struck my interest. I can’t quite place it, but I think it does resemble Pandemonium a bit. Maybe it’s a different version of that or maybe the Tower of Babel.
▲ These were a couple interesting stills where we see Lyria apparently using her powers and blowing the others away from behind. Then we see a far shot of a bunch of soldiers and a tiny Lyria in the distance on the right. Not a clue what’s going on here…

Take your role as captain of a skyfaring crew, joined by a scrappy little dragon named Vyrn and a young girl with mysterious powers named Lyria. Together you sail with a colorful cast of crewmates, including kings and misfits alike, for Estalucia, a fabled island beyond the end of the skies.
In the Zegagrande Skydom, islands are guarded by powerful creatures known as primal beasts and winds carry tales of a secretive organization known as the Church of Avia. Unveil a web of intrigue reaching far beyond the borders of Zegagrande and engage in a battle for the fate of the Sky Realm itself.
