Fate/Extella Delayed To Early 2017, But Gets A Noble Phantasm Edition To Go With It

Publisher Xseed Games announced that Marvelous’ upcoming Musou-style hack and slash title, Fate/Extella, will be delayed from Winter 2016 to early 2017 in North America.

As for Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star’s special Noble Phantasm Edition, which is set for release in early 2017, it’ll be available for both PS4 and PS Vita. It features a 7.5” by 6.3” hardcover art book featuring over 100 pages of high-quality artwork, a pack of sixteen 3” by 5” cards depicting each of the game’s Servants, and a 24” by 17” cloth poster, all housed in a custom box.

Here’s more from Xseed on the title:

Expanding upon the extensive and much-beloved Fate universe with a standalone story from acclaimed series writer Kinoko Nasu (of Fate/stay night fame), Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, developed by Marvelous Inc., transpires on the new world of Extella through 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 heroine Servants 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 action. A new form change battle mechanic 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.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star releases in Japan on November 10, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. The game will hit North America in early 2017, and Europe will likely get the delay announcement soon as well.
