Granblue Fantasy Relink Endless Ragnarok released a free demo on June 17 2026 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC through Steam, giving players a hands on look at the expansion roughly three weeks before the full version arrives on July 9 2026. The demo ships with cross play matchmaking and carries progress and rewards forward into the complete game.
Endless Ragnarok is the major follow up to Granblue Fantasy Relink, the action role playing game from Cygames that became a surprise success thanks to its flashy party combat and generous postgame grind. Where the original was a self contained adventure, this expansion is built to extend the endgame that kept its most devoted players coming back, and the demo is clearly designed to convert curious newcomers before launch.
What is in the Endless Ragnarok demo?
The demo includes three modes: a Story Mode covering the early portion of the new campaign, a Quest Mode playable solo or with others, and a Tutorial Mode for learning the basics. There are four quests in total, and clearing the first three unlocks a fourth called Sephira Sanguine Glimmer, which introduces Summons, an all new battle mechanic for the expansion.
Cross play is the headline feature here, letting players on different platforms team up in the same lobbies, which matters enormously for a game whose appeal rests on coordinated four player hunts against towering bosses. Rewards earned in the demo carry over to the full release, so the time spent is not throwaway, a smart choice that respects players who want to start building their roster early.
Why does this expansion matter for Granblue fans?
Endless Ragnarok matters because it doubles down on the exact loop that earned Relink its loyal following rather than chasing a brand new direction. The original game review consensus praised its combat and criticized its short main story, and an expansion squarely aimed at the endgame is the most direct possible answer to that complaint.
The launch also lands at an interesting moment for the action role playing space, where cooperative hunt games compete fiercely for the same audience. By leading with a feature rich demo, full cross play, and carryover progress, Cygames is making the case that Relink has matured into the kind of long tail game that rewards sticking around. For anyone who bounced off the original because it ended too soon, this is the version built to keep going.
