Gravity Update Features & Changes - May 2025

Gravity Update Overview

The May 2025 Gravity Update is one of the largest content expansions for Blox Fruits, introducing a new vertical dimension to gameplay with gravity-altering mechanics, new sky islands, and a powerful new Mythical fruit. This guide covers everything you need to know about the update.

New Devil Fruits

Gravity Fruit (New Mythical)

The star of the update is the new Gravity Fruit, which allows users to manipulate gravity in various ways:

• Gravity Slam: Powerful AoE attack that crushes enemies downward
• Gravitational Pull: Pulls enemies toward you for combos
• Zero Gravity: User can float and ignore gravity effects temporarily
• Gravity Dash: Fast movement technique through gravity manipulation

Spawn rate is approximately 0.8% in-game, making it extremely rare and valuable.

The Control Fruit received significant buffs:

• New moves that synergize with gravity mechanics
• Improved damage scaling
