2B does work to a sick Weight of the World remix in new Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising trailer

Excuse me while I put this soundtrack on repeat.

While it may be overshadowed at the moment by its RPG counterpart, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, the formidable fighter Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is not one to sit back. Two months after the announcement trailer, Nier: Automata‘s 2B is back with a new trailer showcasing some devastating fighting and a killer version of Weight of the World.

Another reminder of Nier: Automata’s greatness

2B is set to become available on February 20, 2024, as the second DLC fighter. Her pack will cost $7.99 individually. Alternatively, players who have purchased the Deluxe Character Pass 1 will receive the android alongside five other DLC fighters. Aside from her iconic swords, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty, 2B (and 2P) can wield a large number of weapons from the YoRHa armory.

At this point, 2B is a safe bet for just about any game. The character is overwhelmingly loved by gamers, no matter their preferred genre. It’s to the point that even if she’s not a legitimate addition to a title, you can almost guarantee there’s a mod that adds her in some way, shape, or form.

While she doesn’t exactly mesh with the world of Granblue, 2B is immune from much criticism due to the “rule of cool.” Be it Final Fantasy XIV, Soulcalibur VI, and more, Square Enix knows that she prints money and will license the character for just about anything. That’s a huge win if you’re a fan, and even if you’re not, you get to beat the white-haired war machine into the ground.
