The update adds Id, the dragon-powered swordsman from the action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink, as a downloadable character. Id is voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda and was an antagonist in Relink, standing in the protagonists' way as the greatest swordsman in the Zega Grande sky realm. The update also includes a new stage, the Einstedt Archipelago, a new universal system for all characters, and battle balance adjustments for multiple fighters. On the same day, the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Versus: Rising launches. The Switch 2 edition includes all 40 characters from the base game and previously released DLC, including Id and the NieR: Automata collaboration character 2B. It supports local wireless multiplayer and includes the full story mode and Digital Figure Mode. A save data linkage bonus with the upcoming Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok, releasing July 9, will grant Id's weapon skin and a Lyria lobby avatar in Versus: Rising.","whyItMatters":"The crossover brings a major antagonist from Cygames' action RPG into its fighting game spin-off on the same day the series expands to a new Nintendo platform, bundling all DLC into one package for Switch 2 buyers.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eId is a playable character in \u003cem\u003eGranblue Fantasy: Relink\u003c/em\u003e who can transform into a dragonoid form, and the revealed images show that form carrying over into \u003cem\u003eVersus: Rising\u003c/em\u003e.
