Aniplex held a media briefing at Tokyo Game Show 2026 for Fate/EXTRA Record, the full remake of Fate/EXTRA, and confirmed a January 28, 2027 release on PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Development is handled by Meteorise, with TYPE-MOON studio BB on the planning side. The battle system moves away from the original's rock-paper-scissors format to 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. The scenario follows the original, including its iconic lines, while the graphics and system are rebuilt for what the staff call a modern JRPG rather than a remaster. Players pick Saber, Archer, or Caster as a partner Servant, three Servants were detailed at the session, and the game ships with nine supported languages. Character voices remain Japanese only. A playable demo is running at the Aniplex booth.
