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.
