Fate/EXTRA Record, the full remake of the 2010 PSP game Fate/EXTRA, will launch on January 28, 2027. The release date was announced on Sony's State of Play stream, just days after a turbulent August 2026 announcement that changed the game's development structure and publisher. Originally planned for sale by Bandai Namco Entertainment, the publisher role shifted to Aniplex. At a media session held around Tokyo Game Show 2026, Aniplex staff said nothing was abandoned because of the structural change, and content was neither cut nor reduced. The game is a remake of Fate/EXTRA, the first RPG in the Fate series, set in the Moon Holy Grail War inside SE.RA.PH. A new trailer appeared in 2022, and a release delay was announced in 2025. Counting from the July 2020 announcement, the wait has run about six years. Aniplex also outlined game systems and the roles of partner characters Saber and Archer.
The remake's development changed hands to Meteorise, the studio behind Valkyrie Drive -Bhikkhuni-, after director Kazuya Niinou left TYPE-MOON Studio BB. Studio BB apologized for the canceled release and said Niinou took leave from work for health reasons. Bandai Namco's cancellation of sales was announced in March 2026.
Aniplex staff spoke about the project at a media session held before Tokyo Game Show 2026, with overseas press in attendance. The session covered the game's systems and the battle roles of the partner characters Saber and Archer, along with the title's place in the series.
Early purchase copies for both platforms include a "Tsukimihara Academy Uniform" My Servant costume set with an early unlock code:
- Switch 2 version, 7,282 yen at Amazon and Rakuten Ichiba
- PS5 version, 7,282 yen at Amazon and Rakuten Ichiba
The release lands in a crowded early-2027 window that also includes Persona 4 Revival, Oboro Muramasa Kikitan, and Metroid Ravenous.
