Aniplex of America began streaming a trailer on Friday for the Fate/Grand Order VR feat. Mash Kyrielight PlayStation VR game on Friday. The video is the English version of the game's third Japanese promotional video, and it introduces another story provided by the project in the form of an "Altria Pendragon VR Drama."
Aniplex of America announced at its panel at A-Kon on Friday that Fate/Grand Order VR Experience will be available at Anime Expo, which will be held in Los Angeles on July 4-8. In the experience, players can join Saber-class Servant Altria Pendragon and Shielder-class Demi-Servant Mash Kyrielight on a new mission. The game's new English dub will debut at Anime Expo starring Kari Wahlgren as Altria and Erica Mendez as Mash. Gameplay stations will be available by appointment at the event.
The "Fate VR drama" project allows players to enter the world of Fate/Grand Order and meet with the Servant Mash Kyrielight. The video above teases the story about a brief rest with Artoria after training with Mash. However, the respite is suddenly interrupted by a battle.
The project launched in Japan on December 6.
