Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising to introduce two new control schemes next week

Cygames announced in a short X post that Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising will introduce two new control schemes to the game on Dec. 2, 2025. The developers did not elaborate on what kind of control schemes are coming to the game.

As it stands, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising doesn’t have a control scheme similar to Street Fighter 6’s Modern or Dynamic settings. While the game already has some semblances of those already being implemented in the game, such as the skill button and the dash button.

The addition of the control schemes puts the game in line with other fighting games that are lowering the barrier of entry by evolving their control schemes. Street Fighter 6’s Modern control scheme, for example, gets rid of motion inputs, making it easier for players to perform special attacks and supers.

Aside from the control scheme addition, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising’s free-to-play version will allow players to play the whole base roster of the game for free starting on Nov. 27, 2025, until Dec. 4, 2025. This will not include DLCs such as 2B and Meg.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is a 2D fighting game developed by Arc System Works and published by Cygames. The game was released on Dec. 14, 2023, and is available on PlayStation 4 & 5 and PC.
