Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will release a new DLC update on February 26 featuring characters from the comedy digital manga series Pop Team Epic. The DLC includes premium lobby avatars of Popuko and Pipimi, which can also be configured as in-game partners. Additionally, the package provides two exclusive badges for players to display on their profiles.
The DLC is priced at $5.99 and follows the special pre-launch livestream for version 2.00 that showcased Sandalphon’s gameplay and everything players need to know about the update.
