About Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star
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 16 playable “Servants” –
ancient warriors of legend and imagination, always at the beck
and call of their Masters – 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 as it appears
following 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 the
Nintendo Switch version featuring game text in English,
Japanese, Chinese (Traditional), and Korean.
Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star is developed by Marvelous Inc. and
is published in North America by XSEED Games. In addition to
standard retail and digital formats for the Nintendo Switch
version, the game is available on the PlayStation®4 and “PSVita”
systems 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 the
Fate/EXTELLA universe, 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. The
PlayStation®4 and “PSVita” system versions of this title have
been rated “T for Teen” by the ESRB, while the Nintendo Switch
version has not yet been rated.
