<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Aside from the new gameplay options, the information revealed concluded with a character reveal and a character teaser for Season 2.

<h3 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">Update 1.40 and New Reveals</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Granblue Fantasy Versus’ version 1.40 added three new things for players to do with the RPG Mode’s content. First and foremost, it added additional RPG Mode chapters, giving potentially more worldbuilding and more fights for players to enjoy. Secondly, Boss Battle Time Attack was added to the game, in which players compete against each other to see who can take down bosses faster. A third mode, named GBVS Blitz was also added, but it applies to Ranked Matches rather than RPG Mode.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Aside from new modes added, Cygames revealed Belial as the first Season 2 DLC character (seen above). From the gameplay, it gives the impression that all of his projectiles can be manipulated, and that most of his options exist to overwhelm the opponent. Season 2 begins on September 24th (Belial’s release date) and has new balance changes, Ranked Match ratings being reset, and the Character Pass 2 becoming available.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">At the end of the trailer, one of the intro cinematics for the second character, Cagliostro, was also teased, as well as her release window (late October). We’ll continue to update as Character Pass 2 information is revealed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Granblue Fantasy Versus is out now for <a href="https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1023-CUSA17197_00-ENGBVSPRD0000001">PlayStation 4</a> and <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1090630/Granblue_Fantasy_Versus/">Steam</a>.</span></p>
