The latter is out this year, while the former is yet to be dated. PlatinumGames, meanwhile, is busy working on Bayonetta 3 for the Nintendo Switch and Babylon’s Fall for PS4 and PC. Regardless, Granblue Fantasy: Relink is still slated for PS4, though no actual release date has been provided till now. Then again, it could be as simple as Cygames no longer requiring assistance on the project going forward. This isn’t nearly as bad as, say, the cancellation of Scalebound (which PlatinumGames was developing exclusively for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC), but it’s still fairly surprising. “We would like to express our thanks to everyone who has shown interest in the project, and ask that the same support should continue for Granblue Fantasy: Relink as its production continues forward.” CyGames dropped using the NAM engine for technical reasons (drop-in co-op wasnt satisfactory is rumored to be one of the major reasons) and they didnt renew since they didnt need their tech support anymore for the NAM. Development will still continue, but be handled solely by Cygames’ internal development team. Long story short: Platinum was contracted for designing the combat, providing the NAM engine and technical support for it.
