Fate/stay night Remastered Announced With an English Release

Half a year ago, I said, “Who knows, one of these days we could be discussing an official Fate/Stay Night localization,” and now the time has come.

Yesterday, Type-Moon announced that Fate/stay night Realta Nua is being remastered for PC and Switch, with English and Chinese translations available for the first time.

No PS4/PS5 version was announced, oddly enough, even though Witch on the Holy Night did and the upcoming Tsukihime remake will as well. I prefer to play visual novels on the Switch whenever possible, so that’s fine for me.

If you’re asking yourself “What is Realta Nua,” because the Fate franchise has so many entries a title like that could easily be mistaken for a spin-off, it’s the later version of the original Fate/stay night, which removed the sex scenes and replaced them with new content.

(So anyone asking if the sex scenes will be censored or cut should know that this is a remaster of the version that had already removed them.)

I’ve been interested in the Fate series for a while, since I’ve played a couple of spin-offs as well as Witch on the Holy Night from the same universe, so I’ll definitely be getting this! I know a lot of fans were hoping for a full remake, but I’m happy enough with a remaster.

It only has a 2024 release window so far, which I believe is the same for the English release of Tsukihime. Presumably Tsukihime will come out first.

So here we are, yet another “will never be localized” game being localized. It’s gotta be Bandai Namco’s turn with the untranslated Tales games one of these days!

And don’t forget, we have a State of Play tonight and an Aksys showcase tomorrow. This could be a great week for exciting game announcements! Are you interested in playing Fate/stay night Remastered?
