Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star Announced
Torrance, Calif. – October 5, in the year of our Lord
2016 – XSEED Games, the publishing brand of Marvelous
USA, Inc., today announced that Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star,
the highly-anticipated, standalone action title set within the
much-beloved Fate universe, will receive a special Noble
Phantasm Edition for its release in early 2017 on the
PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PlayStation®Vita
handheld entertainment system. The limited bundle will contain a
7.5” by 6.3” hardcover art book featuring over 100 pages of
high-quality artwork from Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, 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 box.
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.
Developed by Marvelous Inc. and published in North America by
XSEED Games, Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star is planned for launch
early 2017 for PS4™ and “PSVita” systems. The limited Noble
Phantasm Edition has a suggested retail price of $69.99 for PS4™
