Capsule Servant Game Promo Features Mini Fate Series Characters

Kadokawa began streaming a promotional video on Thursday for Capsule Servant, which will bundle with the Fate/hollow ataraxia PlayStation Vita game. Capsule Servant is a tower defense game where players can use characters from several works in the Fate series. Players can control either Shiro (regular mode) or Rin (difficult mode).

The full game, which is a port of Type-Moon's Fate/hollow ataraxia PC game, is slated to ship for the PlayStation Vita in regular and limited-edition versions in Japan on November 27. The limited edition will bundle an Avenger Nendoroid Petit figure and setting materials book and retail for 8,000 yen (about US$79). The regular version will retail for 6,000 yen (US$59).

The game is being enhanced to take advantage of the PS Vita's touch screen interface, and it will also be full-voiced. As with the original PC game, players play as Shirō Emiya one year and a half after the events of Fate/stay night. The player is limited to a time limit of four days, and within this time, the player is allowed to become friendly with their favorite characters. In addition, a new Holy Grail War begins, and new characters appear.

The anime studio ufotable is producing a new anime adaptation of Fate/stay night that will begin airing on Japanese television this fall and adapt the original game's "Unlimited Blade Works" route. An anime film will adapt the game's "Heaven's Feel" route.
