Fate is a Japanese video game series and media franchise created by Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi for Type-Moon. The franchise follows Shirou Emiya, a mage, who becomes a warrior in the Holy Grail War, a battle between mages called "Masters" and their "Servants". In each route, Shirou bonds with a heroine and confronts different adversaries participating in the war. Nasu began writing visual novel Fate/stay night , in the 1990s, and would later form the video game company Type-Moon in 1999 with Japanese illustrator Takashi Takeuchi. The first game, Fate/stay night, was released for Windows in January 2004.

Contents

The scenario for Fate/stay night was written by Nasu, driven by his desire to create more significant projects following the popularity of his previous visual novel Tsukihime (2003). The series has since then morphed into a franchise that includes manga, anime, and novels. The franchise went on to become one of Type-Moon's most successful works.

The series received many positive reviews from critics, praising the series' complex storytelling, visual production, and character depth. In July 2021, Fate/Grand Order grossed $5.6 billion worldwide, making it the seventh highest-grossing mobile game of all time. By 2026, the Fate series had sold millions copies worldwide.

Premise

The series revolves around Shirou Emiya, a mage who participates in the Holy Grail War, a battle between mages called "Masters" and their "Servants". The two games, Fate/stay night (2004) and Fate/hollow ataraxia (2005) have similar premises. Fate/hollow ataraxia takes place about eight months following the events of the first game.

Gameplay

Gameplay in the main Fate games usually follow the standard visual novel style as players explore the school, converse with characters, and progress the story. The first game Fate/stay night and spin-off Fate/hollow ataraxia use different types of gameplay. Fate/stay night uses a linear gameplay style while hollow ataraxia uses a non-linear game play style. The former is a dark fantasy (originally an eroge) with a complex gameplay structure centered on a high-fantasy narrative, and is divided into three distinct storylines—Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel—which all must be played to unlock the full story. While hollow ataraxia is an adventure game, in which protagonists Shirou Emiya and Bazett Fraga McRemitz experience recurring a four-day time loop in Fuyuki City. The concept of the game was from the developer's idea to create a sequel with a "lighter" tone compared to its predecessor. [1] [2]

History

2004–2006: Conception and first games

Japanese writer Kinoko Nasu began writing Fate/stay night in college not intending for it to be a game. Initially, Nasu only wrote what would become the game's Fate storyline. [3] However, the game went on to have three storylines, the Fate storyline being one of them. In Nasu's early drafts, Fate's heroine Saber was a man, and Shirou was a girl with glasses. [4] This early draft was later embodied in the short original video animation (OVA) Fate/Prototype , which was released with the final volume of the Carnival Phantasm OVA series. [5] Nasu set aside the project and went on to found Type-Moon with artist Takashi Takeuchi. After the success of their first visual novel Tsukihime in 2000, Type-Moon transitioned from a dōjin soft organization to a commercial organization. [6] Starting to fully operate as a company, production company Type-Moon released a demo of its first commercial product, Fate/stay night , on a CD included with the December issue of the magazine Tech Gian  [ ja ] from Enterbrain on October 21, 2003. That same demo would also be released as a download on November 1 through Type-Moon's website. [7]

A sequel to stay/night, Fate/hollow ataraxia , was released on October 28, 2005. [8] Fate/stay night would later be turned into a 24-episode TV anime by Studio Deen, airing from January 7 to June 17, 2006; [6] a second anime series premiered on October 4, 2014. A manga series to promote the anime started publication on December 26, 2005, in Kadokawa Shoten's magazine Monthly Shōnen Ace, [9] which had its conclusion on November 17, 2012, with its 20th volume. [10] Fate/stay night was also released for the PS2 platform on April 19, 2007.

In a collaboration between Type-Moon and Nitro+, writer Gen Urobuchi penned a light novel prequel to Fate/stay night titled Fate/Zero , which Nasu supervised and Takeuchi illustrated. Its first volume released on December 29, 2006, the second on March 31, 2007, the third on July 27, 2007, and the fourth and final one on December 29, 2007, along with the image album Return to Zero produced by ZIZZ Studio  [ ja ]. Fate/Zero was then adapted into a four-volume drama CD, with the first release coming out on August 22, 2008, and the last on January 22, 2010. [11]
