Fate/Extra Record Launches in 2025

Four years after the initial reveal, developer Type-Moon has announced a 2025 console and PC release for Fate/Extra Record, the remake of the PlayStation Portable RPG Fate/Extra. It will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The announcement was made during the recently concluded Fate/Grand Order Fes.2024 event.

Preview the newest trailer below, featuring updated graphics and revamped combat.

Fate/Extra, the first RPG in the Fate series, made its debut in Japan back in July 2010, followed by a North American release in November 2011. I’m glad to know that Fate/Extra Record‘s combat has been completely redone, with a deck-building dramatic command battle that improves the scenario, as our PSP review states that the combat of the original falls short of delivering a great experience.

Fate/Extra Record Overview

About

The “Moon Holy Grail War” begins anew…

The setting is a Spiritron virtual world called “SE.RA.PH.” built on the moon. Masters and Servants team up and fight for survival in pursuit of the “Holy Grail,” an omnipotent wish-granting device, in the Moon Holy Grail War which begins once again…

This is a remake of Fate/EXTRA, the first Fate series RPG originally released on July 22, 2010, now revamped for modern hardware with an expanded scenario, refreshed character graphics, and dramatic command battles utilizing a highly strategic deck-building system.

Master and Servant

128 of the world’s top hackers, each capable of transforming their soul into Spiritrons, are selected as Masters to participate in the Holy Grail War.

The Servants they form contracts with are the souls of legendary heroes and eminent figures from history, whose true names are concealed. These Servants are materialized as Spiritron life-forms and are assigned to one of seven classes, such as Saber or Archer.

Through their shared struggle, where they entrust their souls to one another, their pasts and hidden desires intersect.
