Granblue Fantasy: Relink Evolves into the Ultimate Portable Action RPG with Endless Ragnarok on Switch 2
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Polygon's Giovanni Colantonio explores how the massive Endless Ragnarok update breathes new life into Granblue Fantasy: Relink while bringing the action RPG to Nintendo Switch 2 with fresh roguelike modes and frantic combat.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink has quietly cemented its status as one of the standout action RPGs of the decade, and it just got a massive second wind. Following its original 2024 launch, developer Cygames successfully translated its massive mobile roots into a premium console experience completely devoid of gacha mechanics or microtransactions. Writing for Polygon, Giovanni Colantonio highlights how the game's combat system functions almost like a traditional fighting game roster dropped into a sprawling ARPG, offering deep character diversity and spectacle-heavy boss battles that rival the biggest names in the genre.
Now, the massive Endless Ragnarok expansion is taking that foundation and turning the dial all the way up. The update introduces challenging new story missions tailored for maxed-out veterans, brand-new summon mechanics that let players control giant ice and stone beasts, and a fresh roguelike mode designed to test every corner of the game's intricate progression systems. While jumping straight into the endgame content as a lapsed player can feel like taking an advanced physics exam, the sheer sensory overload and chaotic boss encounters quickly win you over.
Crucially, Endless Ragnarok also marks the arrival of the action RPG on the Nintendo Switch 2. Because the game is naturally structured around punchy, bite-sized missions, it fits handheld play sessions exceptionally well. Whether you are grinding resources for your favorite character or diving into the new rogue-like content while commuting or streaming on the go, the Switch 2 version elevates a great game into an essential portable experience for modern players.
