Fate/EXTRA Record

Fate/EXTRA Record is set to launch on January 28, 2027 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, published by Aniplex after Bandai Namco Entertainment withdrew. Development is handled by Meteorise with TYPE-MOON studio BB on planning.

Synthesized from 11 Yomimono stories · updated 1h ago

Fate/EXTRA Record has moved from a troubled production to a dated release. Aniplex took over publishing on August 31, 2026, after Bandai Namco Entertainment withdrew by mutual agreement earlier that year. The same announcement confirmed a Nintendo Switch 2 version. That day, director and planner Kazuya Niino said he was leaving TYPE-MOON studio BB for personal reasons and health concerns, stepping down from the game and removing his name from the credits. Development passed to Meteorise, with Arco Wada returning as character designer and TYPE-MOON studio BB on planning.

A release date followed on September 3, 2026, during Sony's State of Play livestream: January 28, 2027, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The trailer showed gameplay, battle scenes, cutscenes, and an appearance by Arcueid Brunestud. At a Tokyo Game Show 2026 media session, Aniplex said nothing was abandoned in the structural change and content was neither cut nor reduced. The remake is of the 2010 PlayStation Portable game Fate/EXTRA, set in the Moon Holy Grail War inside SE.RA.PH.

The battle system is rebuilt. The original's rock-paper-scissors format is replaced by deck-building command battles built on Action Points, with Attack, Guard, and Skill cards, Chain Marks that trigger a no-cost Extra Attack, and Code Cast support from the Master. Players pick Saber, Archer, or Caster as a partner Servant. Character videos for Saber, Archer, and Caster ran in September 2026. The game ships with nine supported languages and Japanese-only voices, and a playable demo ran at the Aniplex booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026, open September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe.

Fate/EXTRA Record Gets January 28, 2027 Release Date

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.
