Be part of the Flock

Arc System Works, in affiliation with writer CyGames, has launched the first gameplay trailer for the lovable Anila, the primary new character introduced for anime scrapper Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. Anila was first revealed in a teaser final week, however now we are able to lastly see the attractive shepherd in motion.

Anila, who’s classed as “Queen of the Sheep and ruler of the South-Southwest” is an extremely fun-looking character, who will step forth into battle armed together with her trusty polearm and supported by an enormous flock of obedient wool-bearers.

Anila herself sports activities a pair of ram horns, in addition to a thick woolen robe and a luscious lock of blonde hair. She’s additionally fairly sleepy, which comes with the territory. I legitimately assume that she’s one of the crucial enjoyable designs to grace preventing video games in a while. And I’m shocked that it’s taken this lengthy for a shepherd gimmick to make its look within the sometimes wacky style.

As you possibly can see from her trailer, Anila is one thing of an all-round character, afforded first rate vary because of her polearm, (take a look at that half-screen sweep!), some smothering chains, and even some primary zoning capabilities… because of her fuzzy associates. Anila can ship out her flock as ground-based projectiles, and even journey them into battle with the intention to shut the space at nice velocity. Anila’s amusing tremendous sees the opponent stampeded in a flurry of wool and hooves. You don’t must depend sheep after they’ll gladly ship you into the land of slumber the arduous means.

Whereas Anila’s launch date has been considerably complicated, it appears clear that she is destined to make her debut in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, the up to date version of the unique 2020 fighter, full with new modes and mechanics, in addition to a contemporary rebalance for its enticing and fascinating roster. Whereas the main points are nonetheless surprisingly sketchy, one would assume that Anila shall be obtainable as paid DLC for the vanilla version of Versus, whereas Rising shall be made obtainable full with a number of further fighters. CyGames will reveal the subsequent new character at EVO 2023, which is scheduled for August of this yr.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will launch later in 2023 on PlayStation and PC.
