Cygames will release Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising update Ver 2.60 on September 17, 2026, alongside a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. The update adds Id from Granblue Fantasy Relink as a playable character across all platforms. Id is a standard-type swordsman built around his greatsword Ragnarok, with a projectile, an invincible strike, and a rush Skybound Art. His defining system is the Alternative Gauge, which fills over time or through the special move Soul Link and drains while he is in the dragon state entered through the Skybound Art Ragnarok Form. Ver 2.60 also adds the shared Chain Attack system, which derives from the triple attack's overhead and low options at a cost of Brave Points and 25 percent of the Skybound Gauge, plus the Super Ultimate+ mode and the new stage Einsteed Isles. The Switch 2 release brings Gyro VS, where swinging the Joy-Con 2 triggers combos and automatic guarding, and local wireless play.
Id arrives in Rising with four colors in his initial state, per hands-on sessions. His normals lean on the greatsword's reach: the standing M and H are wide horizontal swings, crouching H is an anti-air thrust, and the dash M is a forward-moving low kick. His abilities cover Reginleiv, a strike-then-projectile combination whose charged version fires a much larger, slower shot; Atonement, a ground shockwave with invincibility on the M and H versions; Never Enough, a rush move with two follow-ups; and Scourge, a long sweep that hits low on M and H.
During the dragon state, Id loses lever guarding in favor of the guard button and gains a separate action set: Cleaver, Regin Rave Barrage, Alta Break, Savage Claw, Soul Ray and the unthrowable Unbound Slam. Dead Weight and Divine Unity remain usable and end the transformation. The Switch 2 version includes local wireless battles, and CyStore goods tied to Id's addition go on order from September 17 to October 19, 2026, alongside Id designs on Amazon's Merch on Demand. The Legendary Edition for Switch 2 is priced at 6,600 yen including tax.
