'Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star' (ALL) Also Coming To PC - Screens

Players experience the story of Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star from the independent perspectives of the three heroine servants and face foes from a variety of Fate productions.

Expanding upon the extensive Fate universe with an original story from acclaimed series writer Kinoko Nasu (of Fate/stay night fame), Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star features a diverse cast of “Servants” – ancient warriors of legend and imagination, always at their Masters’ orders – who survived the Holy Grail War that took place on the Moon.

In a future ruled by the all-powerful lunar super computer Moon Cell Automaton, these champions now duke it out 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 after that previous Holy Grail War.

Players will experience the story of Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star 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, including characters from Fate/EXTRA, Fate/stay night, Fate/Zero, Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Grand Order, in fast-paced combat. 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. The game will contain the original Japanese voices with English text.


XSEED Games announced that Fate/EXTELLA will launch for PC via Steam on July 25, 2017 as a standalone digital release for $49.99, €49.99, and £39.99. To celebrate, XSEED Games will host a one-week 10% off launch sale for the base game as well as 20% off all of the Windows PC version’s DLC from July 25 through July 31.

Following a successful launch on the PS4 and Vita, the upcoming Nintendo Switch version of Fate/EXTELLA comes loaded with over 30 previously-released paid DLC costumes along with an exclusive new Unshackled Bride outfit. The Nintendo Switch version will release in North America simultaneously with the PC version on July 25 via the Nintendo eShop and at retail stores for MSRP $59.99.

Featuring 16 playable Servants from multiple Fate productions across three distinct narrative perspectives, Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star aims to deliver the series’ most legendary showdown yet.
