Fate/EXTELLA The Umbral Star Releases
Torrance, Calif. — January 17, in the year of our
Lord 2017 — XSEED Games, the independent-minded console
publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that
Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, the highly-anticipated action
title set within the much-beloved Fate universe, is now
available in North America for the PlayStationŽ4 computer
entertainment system and PlayStationŽVita handheld entertainment
system. 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.
In addition to standard retail and digital formats, the game is
available today for both platforms 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 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
collectible box. Furthermore, for the first two weeks following
today’s launch, the PlayStationŽStore will offer a special
PlayStationŽVita digital bundle which will include the core
Fate/EXTELLA “PSVita” game, an exclusive “PSVita” theme, and the
exclusive "Cold-Blooded Warden" DLC outfit for the character
Gilgamesh.
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: 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 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 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.
Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star is developed by Marvelous Inc. and
is published in North America by XSEED Games. The limited Noble
Phantasm Edition has a suggested retail price of $69.99 for the
PS4™ system and $59.99 for the “PSVita” system, while the
standard retail and digital editions of the game are available
for $49.99 and $39.99, respectively. This title has been rated
“T for Teen” by the ESRB.
