Aqours Sky High is the August 2018 (scheduled for August 9th-21st) Love Live! Sunshine!! collaborative event for the hit Cygames browser and mobile RPG Granblue Fantasy. It marks the first Love Live! fantasy RPG foray and the first Love Live! event in a game outside of School Idol Festival or its derivations. It also marks GBF's second collaboration with a major idol franchise, having collaborated previously with Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls for Cinderella Fantasy. The collaboration was announced at Granblue Summer Fest on July 14, 2018 and included an announcement from the Aqours actresses as well as Granblue art for Chika. Artwork for the other members was then shared in official order, beginning with Riko, Kanan, Dia and You.
After shooting a promo video in fantasy costumes based on designs that Hanamaru found in a book, Aqours is unexpectedly split into their year groups and transported to the world of Granblue. There, they encounter monsters but also new friends – and also a town with a distressing and unique problem that needs their help specifically to solve.
