The Fate/EXTRA game was originally released in Japan for the PlayStation Portable by Marvelous Entertainment and Type-Moon in 2010. Aksys Games localized and released the game in North America in 2011. A follow-up game, Fate/EXTRA CCC was released in Japan in 2013, featuring an opening movie animated by SHAFT which was directed by Akiyuki Shinbo.
Game Concept: Waking up in a strange virtual world with no recollection of the past, the main character finds themselves forced to fight for survival in a war they do not understand for a prize beyond value; the opportunity to have one’s wish granted. With only an enigmatic “Servant” by their side, the protagonist will have to face both friends and foes in battles to the death in order to not only gain possession of a mysterious object known as the “Holy Grail,” but also to find the answer to the most important question of all: “Who am I?”
