This highly anticipated action RPG is set in the Edo Period of Japan and is scheduled for release on September 29th, 2023, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC via Steam.
Unveiling the Fourth Year of the Keian Era: Edo Period Japan
Fate/Samurai Remnant continues the grand tradition of the Fate franchise, where pairs of masters and heroic spirits, known as servants, engage in Holy Grail Wars throughout history. These wars determine the winners who will be granted the power to fulfill their deepest wishes through an ancient artifact called the Holy Grail. Set in the fourth year of the Keian Era during the Edo Period in Japan, Fate/Samurai Remnant showcases a new chapter in this epic conflict.
The Waxing Moon Ritual and the Quest for the Granter of Wishes
Decades have passed since the end of a tumultuous and violent era, and Japan now experiences an era of peace and tranquility. However, unbeknownst to the populace, a clandestine battle is about to commence. The “Waxing Moon Ritual” will unfold in the shadows, pitting seven pairs of masters and servants against each other. In this perilous competition, the last remaining duo will be rewarded with the ultimate prize: the “Waxing Moon Vessel,” which has the power to grant wishes. The game’s protagonist, Miyamoto Iori, a young man from Asakusa, becomes entangled in this conflict alongside his loyal servant, Saber, as they fight for survival and dominance.
Control Miyamoto Iori and Unleash the Power of Saber
In Fate/Samurai Remnant, players assume the role of Miyamoto Iori, a master who has mastered the Niten Ichiryu style of swordsmanship. Fighting alongside the formidable servant Saber, whose strength surpasses that of humans, players must overcome enemies that defy human limits. By issuing commands, players can direct Saber to unleash devastating magical techniques or even take direct control of the servant for intense direct combat. The dynamic battle sequences between servants elevate the action to new heights, ensuring an exhilarating experience for fans of the Fate series.
Explore the Vibrant Streets of Edo and Interact with Its Inhabitants
As players progress through the game, they will have the opportunity to explore the town of Edo, where traditional row houses, samurai residences, and bustling brothels coexist. The richly detailed environment brings the streets to life, with vibrant characters and a distinct Japanese aesthetic.
