Fate/EXTRA Record Release Date Set for January 28, 2027

Aniplex announced during the September 3 State of Play broadcast that Fate/EXTRA Record, the full remake of the 2010 PSP game Fate/EXTRA, will launch on January 28, 2027. The game will be available for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The latest trailer revealed new footage, including battle scenes and cutscenes, and featured Arcueid Brunestud, the main heroine of TYPE-MOON's visual novel Tsukihime. The trailer also showcased the Servants Nero Claudius, Tamamo no Mae, and Emiya, along with characters such as Matou Shinji and Leonardo Bistario Harwey. Fate/EXTRA Record has faced repeated delays since its initial announcement in July 2020. It was originally planned for a 2025 release, then postponed to spring 2026, and delayed again. In March, Bandai Namco Entertainment canceled its distribution role, and Aniplex later took over as the new distributor. Kazuya Niino also left TYPE-MOON studio BB during this period. The confirmed release date marks a major step after months of uncertainty about the project's future.

The new distributor Aniplex has closed the game's official website and official X account, and future information will be announced through Aniplex channels, according to Game Spark. The March announcement from Bandai Namco canceled distribution under the aim of releasing the game under a new structure, with the website and X account shut down in the transition.

The original Fate/EXTRA was a versus-style dungeon RPG that launched for PSP in July 2010, and it is the series' first RPG based on TYPE-MOON's visual novel Fate/stay night, per Denfaminicogamer. The game takes place in a world where a quantum computer called the Moon Cell Automaton, which records everything on Earth, exists on the moon. The Moon Cell carries the function of the Holy Grail that grants any wish, and a Holy Grail War unfolds among magi whose souls are quantized, competing for the right to use it.

The latest trailer was shown during the State of Play broadcast that aired from 22:00 on September 3, according to GAME Watch, which confirmed battle scenes and cutscenes in the new footage. The development timeline ran from an August 2024 confirmation of a 2025 release to a July 2025 delay to spring 2026, then the further delay announced in March of this year alongside the distributor change.
