A new Grail War is in the offing, and this one looks better than ever in Fate/Samurai Remnant, a feudal take on the long-running and rather overwhelming Fate series of interconnected IPs. We got a gorgeous new trailer, with that longed-for release date at the end: 29th September, on PS5 and PS4.
Considering its anime roots, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised to see the quality of animation on display. It has a painterly feel, and combat looks fast and frenetic, although it does make it kind of harder to determine whether specific parts are cutscenes or gameplay. Regardless, this one has our attention and RIP our collective wallets in what is already a stacked September, with Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion, and Lies of P just the tip of the spear.
What do you think of Fate/Samurai Remnant? Are you a fan of this series, and if so, how does one approach it? Let us know in the comments section below.

Because it's a collab with Koei Tecmo will it be difficult like Nioh?
It just gives me anime Nioh vibes.
>"Considering its anime roots"
The origin of the Fate franchise isn't an anime, it's an adult visual novel. Probably the most famous VN to this day. So yeah, it started as hentai, albeit with incredibly detailed lore and world building, and a weird obsession with using sea life similes in sex scenes, if I remember correctly. 😂
@Shadcai Nioh is hard because it's made by Team Ninja. The makers of Ninja Gaiden. Koei Tecmo are just the publisher and the overall company to which Team Ninja belong. This game's being made by another Koei Tecmo subsidiary, Omega Force, who make the Dynasty Warriors games so it'll probably be more like that or one of their various licensed spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors (though they can vary a lot; the Persona 5 one is very different from the Berserk one, for example.)
@Matroska I did not know this! I'd seen the various anime floating around for years, but that all checks out haha
@Matroska I just had this conversation with my friends! Apparently this was fairly common back then for a creator to tell the story they wanted to tell in their game but include H scenes to ensure it sells. I still remember the old Studio Deen adaptation of Fate//Stay Night trying to skirt around a sex scene by making a giant fever dream dragon appear instead 😂. Wild times.
Looks like an upscaled Switch port, which it is.
I always adore title text creators creativity... especially word "remnant"
A non Warriors, 3v3, or basic turn based combat anime game that looks to have excellent animation and good looking gameplay?
Color me interested.
