Fate/Samurai Remnant delivers a heart-racing new trailer

Koei Tecmo have released a new trailer for Fate/Samurai Remnant that should get the heart racing for fans of the series, as it reveals the motivations of the Servants, who are joining in on the fight. Check it out.

Throughout the Fate franchise, pairs of Masters and heroic spirits - also known as Servants - have been fighting across history in a series of Holy Grail Wars, with the winning duo receiving an ancient artifact that grants wishes. Fate/Samurai Remnant continues the series’ epic Holy Grail War in Edo Period Japan as players control young samurai Miyamoto Iori alongside his Servant Saber. Here, a battle between seven pairs of Masters and Servants is about to begin as the “Waxing Moon Ritual” unfolds in the shadows.

Adding to the chaos of the Waxing Moon Ritual, the Servants “Archer” and “Assassin” from other participating teams will take part in the battle. A Servant of the Archer class, Archer is loyal, courageous, and fierce. He shows respect to his Master, Zheng Chenggong, and wields his bow and arrow freely in combat. Also seen throughout the new trailer is Assassin, a Servant of the Assassin class. A phantom in grey with long arms and legs that flex like whips, Assassin is said to be able to summon and manipulate snakes as his subordinates.

While some of these Rogue Servants have made appearances in past titles in the Fate series, such as Rogue Lancer, Fate/Samurai Remnant also introduces all-new Rogue Servants to the Fate universe, like Rogue Rider. 

Rogue Servants include:

  • Rogue Lancer (true name Cú Chulainn): Wields a crimson spear longer than he is, as if it were part of himself. He has a belligerent personality and seeks out challenging battles.

  • Rogue Archer (true name Arjuna): A fighter clad in a white robe who wields a bow covered with blue flames. He is pure, always respectful, and behaves in a fair and honest manner.

  • Rogue Rider (true name Tamamo Aria): Captivates men with her dainty appearance and somewhat frivolous speech and behavior. Instead of riding on something, riding on someone seems to be her preferred form of transportation.

  • Rogue Saber: An armored warrior who rides a gray horse and wields a large sword. He is in pursuit of an enemy called the Evil Ogre, whom he seeks to destroy.

  • Rogue Berserker: A long-haired fighter who boasts a muscular body. Being summoned as a Berserker, he has lost all sense of rationality. For whatever reason, he accompanies Takao Dayu.

You can see some of them below.

The game is coming to Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on September 29th, with digital orders up now for the standard and digital deluxe editions.
