The game will ship in Japan on June 7. Limited premium editions of the game on both versions will contain a bonus Mahjong set with art by Arco Wada. The PS4 edition will include a special costume for Scathach, while the PS Vita version will include a special costume for Archer. Save data can also be transferred from Fate/Extella to the new game to access special costumes for Altera, Nero, Artoria, and Tamamo-no-Mae.

The game will also feature a new design for Master, the game's protagonist and player character. As with previous games in the series, the player is free to make a name and choose the Master's gender.

XSEED Games and Marvelous released Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in North America and Europe in January 2017.
