Cygames and Arc System Works had two big Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising announcements at EVO 2026, and they packaged them together: Id \u2014 the brooding swordsman from Granblue Fantasy: Relink<\/a> \u2014 is the next DLC character, and the game is finally coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Both drop on September 17<\/strong> as part of the version 2.60 update.<\/p>\n

Who Is Id in Granblue Fantasy?<\/h2>\n

Id is one of the standout characters from Granblue Fantasy: Relink, the 2024 action RPG set in the same Granblue universe. He’s a white-haired swordsman with overwhelming raw power and dark, violet-black energy \u2014 exactly the type that tends to become an instant fighting game fan favourite. The reveal clip shows those trademark effects and that cold, composed stare. If his Relink toolkit carries over in any form, expect an aggressive style that pressures at close range.<\/p>\n

Arc System Works hasn’t released a full moveset breakdown yet. Complete character details will come closer to the September 17 release date \u2014 the teaser is deliberately light on gameplay, leaning on the character’s existing Granblue fanbase to do the work.<\/p>\n

Switch 2 Version: A First for the Series<\/h2>\n

GBVSR has been a PS5, PS4 and PC (Steam) title since its 2023 launch. The Switch 2 version announced at EVO 2026 is the game’s first Nintendo platform release, and it arrives fully updated \u2014 Switch 2 players get the complete version 2.60 build including Id, the new stage and the new system mechanic from launch day.<\/p>\n

For Singapore players who own a Switch 2 and passed on GBVSR on other platforms, September 17 becomes a clean entry point. The portability factor is a genuine upside for anyone who wants to grind matchups anywhere. No SGD pricing has been confirmed for the Switch 2 version or the Id DLC as of this writing \u2014 that should surface as we get closer to launch.<\/p>\n

    The balance pass is described broadly \u2014 expect a meaningful tune-up to the meta rather than a light touch. Arc System Works will share specific details on the new mechanic and Id’s full kit before launch.<\/p>\n
