Cygames' Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is launching early next month on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Today, the Japanese publisher released a playable demo allowing players on all formats to experience a small portion of the game ahead of its face-off against Ubisoft’s Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, which launches on the same day, July 9.
The new demo features three different modes: Story Mode, Quest Mode, and Tutorial Mode.
- In Story Mode, players can play through an early portion of the main story, and redeem rewards in the full game if they complete it.
- In Quest Mode, players can play a total of 4 different quests, both solo and with other players on all formats via crossplay. Three quests are available from the start, with a fourth—Sephira's Sanguine Glimmer—unlocked by completing the other three. This quest is well worth playing even by those who completed Granblue Fantasy: Relink, as it features the new Summon mechanics that define the Endless Ragnarok expansion.
- In Tutorial Mode, players can learn more about how to play the game, making this mode the best starting point for newcomers.
To mark the release of the Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok demo, Cygames released a new trailer called The Journey So Far, a revised version of the second trailer released for the base game including elements from the upcoming expansion.

Launching as an expansion to Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Endless Ragnarok will introduce new story content and the single-player roguelike mode The Conflux. To access the new story, players need to complete The Tale of Bahamut's Rage, while The Conflux can be unlocked by clearing a new sidequest in Seedhollow which becomes available on Chapter 6. Further Cycles in this mode require completing hard and Maniac-difficulty quests and making progress in the main story.
As Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok will square off against the much more popular Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on July 9, releasing a playable demo ahead of time was definitely the right call, and one that more publishers should definitely follow, especially in light of the many video games face-offs of the coming months. With September and October being so stacked with high-profile games releasing within days of each other, a playable demo can definitely help gamers make their choice.
