Granblue Fantasy: Relink is the latest game in the Granblue Fantasy franchise and you may be wondering if it will feature an open world to explore. We’ve got everything you need to know right here.

The release of the highly anticipated Granblue Fantasy: Relink is just around the corner and the newest entry in the franchise looks to bring the world from the beloved gacha, and fighting games to life as a full-blown RPG.

With plenty of characters to play as, an engaging narrative to experience, and a lot of exciting action-packed combat to get stuck into, the game looks to be a great entry point for newcomers as well as veteran fans but will it be open world?

Here’s everything you need to know about whether or not Granblue Fantasy: Relink will feature an open world to explore.

No, the game will not be open world but it will feature open zones for players to explore during both the game’s story and quest modes, in a similar vein to the Monster Hunter franchise.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink’s story will take players to different environments that are mostly linear with explorable paths where you can find chests and items. These environments will be separated by loading screens rather than be part of a seamless open world.

Outside of the main campaign, you’ll be able to accept quests from the game’s main hub town which will transport you to the specific area where you’ll have to complete a required objective. While the story mode is purely single-player, you’ll be able to do quests in co-op with up to 4 players online.
