Seofon and Tweyen join the crew, though players must complete two new quests and recruit them with special Crewmate Cards.
As showcased in yesterday’s livestream, the latest update for Granblue Fantasy: Relink is available today for PS4, PS5 and PC players. Ver. 1.2.1 brings two new quests and adds new characters – Seofon and Tweyen of the Immortals. Check out the new content trailer below to see them in action, though beware of spoilers.
The two new quests are “Gulp… So These Are the Rumored Monsters”, unlocked when Extreme difficulty quests become available, and “Lock Horns,” playable after finishing “The Tale of Bahamut’s Rage.” They’ll provide treasure, which can be exchanged for unique Crewmate Cards to unlock Seofon and Tweyen.
Players can skip the grind by purchasing Character Expansion Sets for each, which include Unique Sigils, Supreme Weapon Essences and other materials. Sigils with new traits have also been added, and players can now roll for up to 30 Sigil Transmutations at a time.
