Steam Is About to Meet Its Fate…/EXTELLA

Yes friends, act now and destroy Unicr… uhm, Fate/EXTELLA has now launched, again. Coming to the Nintendo Switch and, more importantly, PC via Steam, which has a 10% discount and 20% off DLC prices. The Switch version brings with it more than 30 pieces of DLC costumes which includes the exclusive “Unshackled Bride” outfit. Kinky!

For those unfamiliar with this vastly underappreciated series, it’s one of those in the ‘Dynasty Warriors‘ style, where you fight fifteen-bajillion people at once, and just wreck their shit with a lazy flick of the wrist. All presented in a very bright, colourful and gloriously cel shaded (mmm, cel shading) package. Neat!

The PC release will set you back a not insignificant $49.99, €49.99, and £39.99, because Japan still looks on PCs as being a tool for working, and doesn’t quite take it seriously as a gaming platform. So, despite all the love we’ve been getting lately, game prices are still a tad higher than the norm because of fears of not seeing a return on investment. But, this series is one you should really be making the time for. Oh yes!

About Fate/EXTELLA

Developed by Marvelous Inc. and expanding upon the extensive Fate universe with an original story from acclaimed series writer Kinoko Nasu (of Fate/stay night fame), Fate/EXTELLA features a diverse cast of 16 playable “Servants” – ancient warriors of legend and imagination, always at the beck and call of their Masters – who survived the Holy Grail War that took place on the Moon. In a future watched over by the all-powerful lunar super computer, “Moon Cell Automaton,” these champions now battle for dominance over this digital realm, known as “SE.RA.PH.” This story takes place after the events described in Fate/EXTRA, and depicts the world as it appears following that previous Holy Grail War.

Players will experience the story of Fate/EXTELLA from the independent perspectives of the three factions wrestling for control over SE.RA.PH. and face off against foes from a variety of Fate productions in fast-paced combat, including characters from Fate/EXTRA, Fate/stay night, Fate/Zero, Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Grand Order. A new form change battle mechanic called Moon Crux debuts in this entry to match its series-first gameplay style, transforming the player-controlled Servants and granting them considerable powers that allow them to devastate enemies and take formidable challenges head-on. All versions of the game contain the original Japanese voices and English text, with the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC versions additionally featuring game text in Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), and Korean.

Fate/EXTELLA is developed by Marvelous Inc. and is published in North America by XSEED Games. In addition to the digital PC version and standard retail and digital formats for the Nintendo Switch version, the game is available on the PlayStation 4 and “PSVita” systems in a limited Noble Phantasm Edition bundle, which contains a 7.5” by 6.3” hardcover art book featuring over 100 pages of high-quality artwork and backstory from the Fate/EXTELLA universe, a pack of sixteen collectible 3” by 5” cards depicting each of the game’s Servants, and a 24” by 17” cloth poster, all housed in a custom collectible box. The PlayStation 4, “PSVita” system and Nintendo Switch versions of this title have been rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB. The Windows PC version of the game is not rated by the ESRB.
