R-Type Final 2 and Final 3 Evolved Get Free FZ: Formation Z Crossover DLC
Granzella announced on July 22, 2026, that it will release a free collaboration DLC for the side-view shooters R-Type Final 2 and R-Type Final 3 Evolved. The DLC, titled R-9Aix Extra Arrow, is a crossover with City Connection's FZ: Formation Z. It adds a new player aircraft inspired by the variable humanoid weapon Ixpel from FZ: Formation Z. When the Force is detached, the craft transforms into a humanoid form that can attack diagonally up and down. When the Force is attached, it reverts to flight form and fires wave cannons and lasers similar to the standard R-9A. The DLC will be available starting July 23, 2026, at 0:00 JST on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via DMM GAMES. The release timing for PC versions sold by NIS America on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG.com, and Microsoft Store has not yet been determined; Granzella said it will announce details on the official website and social media once decided.
