Fate/Extra Record Delayed to Spring 2026

Bandai Namco announced it delayed Fate/Extra Record to Spring 2026 from its original 2025 release window. Additionally, developer Type-Moon Studio BB Lead Kazuya Nino shared a message about the delay and eventual release.

In the post shared on social media, Nino apologized for the new delay for Fate/Extra Record and attributed it to the time the team needed to spend on the game’s voice acting. You can read a rough translation of the original post here:

“I am very sorry to keep you waiting.

This is my first time developing a game with full voice acting, including background characters, and I completely misjudged the schedule. I didn’t realize how time consuming it would be…

In its stead, I think we’ve landed on a game that feels more immersive and gratifying. Please, give us a bit more time!”

Furthermore, publisher Bandai Namco shared a message about the delay where the company also confirmed that the Super Special and Special Editions of the game are now available for pre-order from the Asobi Store Japanese online site. Pre-orders for normal editions of the game will open at a later date in Japan.

Fate/Extra Record was originally announced in 2020, and received sparse updates up until the FGO Fes 2024 held on August of the same year, when a new trailer of the game was unveiled. The trailer showed a look at the progress Type-Moon Studio BB made during the years, with new elements such as room customization being introduced.

Fate/Extra Record is currently in development for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam. The game has been delayed to Spring 2026, and there is currently no confirmation of an overseas release.
