Continuing to expand their roster of characters in fighting game Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, publisher CyGames and developer Arc System Works have rolled out their Version 1.40 update to the fighting game – which introduces the new playable character Beatrix, and additional in-game content included with Battle Pass Round 4, along with the sale of a new character costume (Lancelot’s “Knight’s Finery”) and System Voice Set 2.
New Character: Beatrix
Unfortunately for some, the inclusion of Beatrix is not free. Instead, she is available as a DLC character priced at €7.99 OR through owning the GBVSR Character Pass 1 or GBVSR Deluxe Character Pass 1. As the sixth DLC character for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, purchasing this character gains you access to the following:
Playable Character: Beatrix
Premium Avatar: Beatrix
Badge: Beatrix
Weapon Cutout: Embrasque Sword
Figure Studio poses 1–6 and expressions 1–7 for Beatrix
SSR Character Weapon Draw Ticket for the Granblue Fantasy original mobile game – Limited to PS4/PS5 version purchases only
Beatrix is voiced by Jennifer Losi in English, and Aya Hirano in Japanese.

New DLC System Voices
And continuing the new wave of DLC being offered, a new system voice set (System Voice Set 2) is now available to purchase, unlocking character system voices for characters included in Character Pass 1 (Lucilius, Vane, Beatrix, and two unannounced characters). This is priced at €8.99, but does come with the caveat that character system voices for 2B are not included.
