De Fate-franchise gaat inmiddels al enkele decennia mee en in die tijd hebben we hopen games, anime, manga en meer gekregen. Op gamevlak zijn er nu enkele leuke updates naar buiten gekomen en dit voor verschillende projecten. We mogen namelijk dit en volgend jaar verschillende Fate-games verwachten en wij zetten ze even voor je op een rijtje.
Fate/EXTRA Record
Onlangs nog kregen we te horen dat we binnenkort een update zouden krijgen over deze RPG en dat is nu dus gebeurd. De ‘Moon Holy Grail War’ staat hier centraal en het wordt (zoals altijd) een helse strijd tussen masters en servants om als laatste over te blijven. Check hieronder meer info en een nieuwe trailer. De game zal ergens in 2025 uitkomen voor PS4, PS5, Switch en pc.
The “Moon Holy Grail War” begins anew…
The setting is a Spiritron virtual world called “SE.RA.PH.” built on the moon. Masters and Servants team up and fight for survival in pursuit of the “Holy Grail,” an omnipotent wish-granting device, in the Moon Holy Grail War which begins once again…
This is a remake of Fate/EXTRA, the first Fate series RPG originally released on July 22, 2010, now revamped for modern hardware with an expanded scenario, refreshed character graphics, and dramatic command battles utilizing a highly strategic deck-building system.
Master and Servant
128 of the world’s top hackers, each capable of transforming their soul into Spiritrons, are selected as Masters to participate in the Holy Grail War.
The Servants they form contracts with are the souls of legendary heroes and eminent figures from history, whose true names are concealed. These Servants are materialized as Spiritron life-forms and are assigned to one of seven classes, such as Saber or Archer.
Through their shared struggle, where they entrust their souls to one another, their pasts and hidden desires intersect.
Fate/stay night REMASTERED
De game waarmee het allemaal begon, Fate/stay night, krijg een remaster en die remaster komt sneller dan je denkt. Op 8 augustus zal je namelijk deze nieuwe versie van de visual novel kunnen ervaren op pc en Nintendo Switch. Deze remaster is gebaseerd op de ‘Fate/stay night Realta Nua’- versie van de game. Check hieronder meer info.
A remastered version of Fate/stay night, fantasy action drama visual novel and TYPE-Moon’s first-ever commercial release in 2004, will be released for its 20th anniversary.
The remaster is based on the 2012 PS Vita release of Fate/stay night Realta Nua, featuring series-first adaptation into languages such as English and Simplified Chinese, as well as graphics and animations rendered in full high-definition. Experience in vivid detail the story of Shirou Emiya, a teenage boy with dreams of becoming a Hero of Justice, and his battle revolving around the omnipotent wish-granting vessel, the Holy Grail.
With numerous entries in the ever-expanding Fate series, including the mobile game Fate/Grand Order, the curtains of Fate, the Origin, rise once again.
Story
The Holy Grail War.
A ritual held in Fuyuki City by magi grasping to reach the Root.
Seven magi, known as Masters, gather to compete over possession of the Holy Grail, which possesses the power to fulfill any of its bearer’s wishes.
They fight other Masters for supremacy by summoning Heroic Spirits, known as Servants, called upon by the Holy Grail.
However, throughout the past four Holy Grail Wars, history has yet to see a single victor.
During the Fourth Holy Grail War ten years ago, Shirou Emiya was saved from amidst the fires of war by the self-proclaimed mage Kiritsugu Emiya.
The young Shirou started living with Kiritsugu and persistently asked for instruction in magecraft, much to the mage’s disapproval. On the night prior to Kiritsugu’s death, Shirou promised his adoptive father that he’ll become a Hero of Justice.
Fast forward to the present.
On one quiet eve, Shirou gets involved in the Holy Grail War and is assailed by a Servant.
Just as the glint of steel threatens to take his life, a girl clad in knightly armor appears to stop the fatal attack.
The Servant, who came to the rescue of the would-be Hero of Justice, and the Master, saved by the Heroic Spirit of the Sword; their fates are in motion…
Fate/hollow ataraxia REMASTERED
Nog een visual novel krijgt een remaster, want ook Fate/hollow ataraxia (de sequel op Fate/stay night) keert terug in een nieuwe vorm. Deze game zal eveneens uitkomen voor pc en Switch, maar hier zijn de details wel wat schaarser. Er is nog geen releasedatum gegeven en de eerste trailer is eigenlijk gewoon een korte video die even laat weten dat de game in ontwikkeling is. Bekijk hem hieronder.
