Fate/Samurai Remnant is an action role-playing video game developed by Omega Force, published by Koei Tecmo. It is set to release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Windows.

Gameplay
Fate/Samurai Remnant lets players play Miyamoto Iori. The combat features a wide array of stances, which the player character can switch between on the fly. Iori uses dual katanas, a widepsread weapon for Samurai during the Edo period. Players can give commands to their servant, launching special attacks and combos. In certain situations, the game allows for full control of Iori's servant, as his weapons can't be used against other servants. The game is open-world and allows for exploration of recreated districts of Edo, such as Yoshiwara, Kanda and Akasaka.

Plot
Taking place in the fourth year of the Keian era (1651), during the Keian Uprising, the Holy Grail War wages. A long time has passed since the end of the turbulent, blood-soaked Sengoku Period, and Edo has settled into peace. But a secret battle arises, fought by masters and the heroic spirits or "servants" they summon, which include figures such as Miyamoto Musashi, Takao Dayu and Jeanne D'Arc. Miyamoto Iori, a young man from Asakusa, finds himself tangled in the war to secure the "Waxing Moon Vessel", a wish-granting object.

Development
On December 31, 2022 Type-Moon & Aniplex announced during a special television broadcast on BS11 that a new role-playing video game entry in the Fate/stay night series was in development at Koei Tecmo. Gameplay of the game was leaked a day ahead of its formal showcase at a Nintendo Direct on June 21, 2023. Shortly after it was announced that Omega Force would be leading development alongside Aniplex and Type-Moon. The creator of Fate/stay night, Kinoko Nasu, would be aiding as supervisor, with veteran Fate series writers Hiraku Sakurai, known for Fate/Grand Order and Yuichiro Higashida, known for Fate/Apocrypha, writing the game. Music would be composed by Keita Haga, known for his work on Tsukihime and Melty Blood, as well as Daisuke Shinoda, known for Wild Hearts. The opening animation sequence is produced by CloverWorks. In an interview with 4gamer, the director of the game, Ryota Matsushita, mentioned that the development of Fate/Samurai Remnant started at Omega Force in 2018, and that the idea was spurred due to Koei Tecmo CEO Yōichi Erikawa being a fan of Fate/Grand Order.
