Fate/EXTRA Record Streams First Saber Character Video

Aniplex released the first character promotional video for Fate/EXTRA Record, its remake of the 2010 PlayStation Portable game Fate/EXTRA, on September 9. The video spotlights Saber, voiced by Sakura Tange, one of three Servant candidates the protagonist can contract with in the dungeon exploration RPG. The sources describe Saber as a swordswoman whose exceptional skill defies her small stature, with combat ability worthy of the Saber name, considered the most outstanding class. Her speech and mannerisms are arrogant, but she harbors a love for beautiful things. Fate/EXTRA Record is scheduled to launch on January 28, 2027, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The standard edition is priced at 8,910 yen. The game follows a troubled development history: Bandai Namco Entertainment withdrew from publishing by mutual agreement, and director Kazuya Nino left the project citing health concerns. Arco Wada returns as character designer, with Kinoko Nasu handling original work and scenario supervision. Development is now handled by Meteorise.

The PV opens with Saber facing down enemies in battle, with the clip described across sources as showing both her appearance and combat scenes. The video is the first of a planned series introducing the three Servant candidates the protagonist can contract with: Saber, Archer, and Caster. Her fighting style and presentation reflect the deck-building command card system, where players combine Attack, Guard, and Skill commands and where a Servant's appearance and performance shift depending on which one is contracted.

In the remake, the story unfolds with full voice acting and depicts how the bond with a Servant changes through joint combat. The original Fate/EXTRA launched in 2010 as the first RPG in the Fate series, built on Type-Moon's Fate/stay night visual novel. It is set in an alternate science-fiction continuity of the Fate universe that fans call the "Extraverse," which also produced the SHAFT television anime Fate/EXTRA Last Encore in 2018 and the Marvelous action games Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star and Fate/EXTELLA LINK.

The game carries a CERO C rating (ages 15 and up). Subtitle languages span Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean, with Japanese voice audio only. Kinoko Nasu handles original work and scenario supervision, Takashi Takeuchi provides original character design, and Meteorise leads development. Aniplex distributes the title, with Marvelous Europe publishing in Europe and Australia. A physical Limited Edition includes a 3-disc soundtrack, SteelBook case, and artbook. Nino previously produced the original Fate/EXTRA and worked on the first Etrian Odyssey game.
