   Fate/Extra Record Rival Trailer Spotlights Characters Ahead of Launch

   Aniplex and Type-Moon have released a new character introduction trailer for Fate/Extra Record, showcasing rival characters including Matou Shinji, Tohsaka Rin, Rani, Julius, and Alice ahead of the game launch. The story-driven role-playing game is scheduled to arrive on January 28, 2027. Developed as a full remake of the 2010 PlayStation Portable title Fate/Extra, the project features enhanced scenarios, refreshed graphics, and deck-building command card battles. The upcoming title will launch across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam platforms.

The new media assets confirm character rosters and promotional rollouts are accelerating as the winter release approaches.
