Fate/EXTELLA LINK

Fate/EXTELLA LINK is a fast-paced action game by Marvelous 1st Studio set in the Fate/EXTRA universe. Instead of turn-based duels, the focus is on large battlefields where a controllable Servant fights numerous enemies, secures objectives and uses special attacks.

The game tells a new story following Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star. In total, 26 Servants are playable, including ten newcomers. Charlemagne is one of the central new characters.

The first release took place in Japan on June 7, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. A native Nintendo Switch version followed there on January 31, 2019.

On March 19, 2019, the Windows version launched worldwide via Steam, along with the console versions in North America. In Europe, the PS4, PS Vita and Switch versions followed on March 22, 2019. Marvelous also released standalone iOS and Android apps in Japan on July 22, 2020.

Fate/EXTELLA LINK was released natively for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android. The mobile versions launched in Japan in 2020 as standalone apps.

A Switch version playable via compatibility is not a separate native Switch 2 version. For PS5 and Xbox Series, no dedicated native release is confirmed either.

The Servants fight in large arenas against opposing forces. Fast attack combos, individual special abilities and securing mission objectives shape the flow.

Compared with its predecessor, Marvelous has reworked animations and battle techniques. Supporting Servants can together trigger powerful Chain Phantasm attacks.

Several costume packs were released for Fate/EXTELLA LINK, and Young Altera is an additional playable character. The bonuses differ between platforms.

Digital Deluxe and Fleeting Glory are editions with bundled extras or collectibles, not standalone new games or additional native platform versions.

Steam lists at least an Intel Core i5-760, 4 GB RAM, an Nvidia GTX 750, DirectX 11 and 14 GB of free storage. Recommended are a Core i5-4460, 6 GB RAM and a GTX 960.

The original minimum specs list older Windows versions. However, the Steam client now only supports newer Windows versions.

Ten new playable Servants join the 16-member character roster of the predecessor. Alongside Charlemagne, Astolfo, Scáthach and Francis Drake are part of the expanded selection.

The characters have different battle techniques and special attacks. Switching Servants changes how individual battles play out.

Between missions, players can visit a medieval cathedral that serves as a freely accessible base camp. There, they can talk with Servants and build relationships.

Side quests give additional insight into the characters. The base camp connects the frantic battles with calm encounters within the story.

On PC, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, online battles are played with two teams of four players each. According to Nintendo, the Switch version also supports local multiplayer matches.

The PS Vita version has no online mode. The features of the Japanese mobile versions should not be equated with those of the console games without separate evidence.

The German Nintendo site lists Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese for the Switch version. German on-screen text is not offered there. Other platform versions may have different language options.

Marvelous released native iOS and Android apps in Japan on July 22, 2020. This does not guarantee current availability in every regional app store.

Fate/EXTELLA LINK continues the story of The Umbral Star. In the virtual moon kingdom SE.RA.PH, familiar Servants must face a new threat.

Knight Charlemagne is at the center of the new events. The story belongs to the Fate/EXTRA branch and brings established characters together with newcomers.
