Latest Fate/Samurai Remnant trailer shines a spotlight on gameplay and characters
Koei Tecmo revealed a new trailer for Fate/Samurai Remnant, spotlighting more of the upcoming entry in the Fate series. The Omega Force action-RPG takes theseries to Edo-era Japan, kicking things off to the tune of its main theme “Zanya Gensou feat. LICCA / Spiral Ladder.”
The story of Fate/Samurai Remnant continues the history-spanning Holy Grail War in a new locale. True to the Fate legacy, Masters and Servants are at the heart of the action, this time centering on young samurai Miyamoto Iori and his Servant Saber. With the Waxing Moon Ritual unfolding, seven pairs of Masters and Servants battle for the right to claim the Holy Grail.
Story and character relationships are key to the new trailer, but it also shows off some gameplay systems. There’s a woodworking minigame in Gilgamesh’s shop, as well as a look at the skill tree. More importantly, however, is Circe’s ability to transform Iori into a pig. If you can believe it, Iori’s first line of dialogue after this twist is a mighty “Oink!” Playing as said pig will no doubt be among my top honors of the year.
Fate/stay night author Kinoko Nasu is credited in a supervisory role alongside Type-Moon for this outing. For Fate fans, character designs come from Rei Wataru, who previously provided art for one of the Fate/Grand Order manga adaptations. Their work will be featured in a special Tokyo Game Show 2023 livestream on September 21, 2023 at 6:00am PT.
Fresh gameplay and info is on the menu for the TGS 20023 stream along with a handful of special guests. Those set to appear include voice cast members Kengo Kawanishi (Iori Miyamoto), Hibiku Yamamura (Saber), and Tomoaki Maeno (Zheng Chenggong).
