At Fate/Grand Order Fes. 2023, it was announced that Cú Chulainn and Tamamo Aria would be appearing in Fate/Samurai Remnant. The two join already-confirmed servants Saber, Lancer, Rider, and Berserker.
Fan favorites Miyamoto Musashi and Jeanne d’Arc will also be appearing in the brand-new title. Here’s everything we know so far about these new characters.
Cú Chulainn and Tamamo Join Fate/Samurai Remnant
Cú Chulainn is a character many fans of Fate will instantly recognize. He has appeared in Fate/stay night, Fate/EXTELLA LINK, Fate/Grand Order, Fate/hollow ataraxia, Fate/Ace Royal, Fate/unlimited codes, and Today’s Menu for Emiya Family to name a few titles. He is one of the most popular Lancer servants, so it’s an easy pick for a servant fans will enjoy seeing in Fate/Samurai Remnant.
Tamamo Aria, on the other hand, is in a much different form than many are used to seeing her in. She is an alter-ego of Tamamo-no-Mae, a popular servant from Fate/Grand Order. Aria has appeared in Fate/EXTRA CCC before Fate/Samurai Remnant.
About Fate/Samurai Remnant
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a collaboration between Koei Tecmo, Type-Moon, and Omega Force. Below, you can view a description of the game via Koei Tecmo:
The 4th year of the Keian Era, Edo Period.
Forty-eight years had passed since Ieyasu, the sovereign of Japan, opened the capital to the Tokugawa shogunate. The reign of the Tokugawa was passed down to the fourth Shogun, Ietsuna. The number of people living in Edo increased day by day, and the city seemed to be enjoying its prosperity. However, due to a succession of dissolutions and revocations by the feudal lords, the streets were filled with ronin, and the peaceful days of Edo seemed to be fading.
In Asakusa, a town in Edo, there was a young man named Miyamoto Iori.
He was the adopted son and apprentice of the great swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.
Iori chose not to serve under a lord, but rather spent his days training his swordsmanship.
One day, he noticed an unfamiliar bruise on the back of his hand.
Iori would soon find himself trapped in the midst of a horrific conflict, a battle of blood and trickery.
The battle over the “Waxing Moon” which could grant any and all wishes – the “Waxing Moon Ritual”. The seven individuals seeking their wish, or Masters, are the bearers of the Ritual. The seven Heroic Spirits, or Servants, are summoned to this world by their Masters.
The curtain rises on the battle between the seven Masters with their seven Servants.
Fate/Samurai Remnant launches on September 28 in Japan and September 29 worldwide. The game will release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
