The game was previously set to be distributed by Bandai Namco Entertainment, which announced in March that sales would be discontinued and the distributor changed. Along with the announcement, Aniplex established a new official website and official X account for the game, with the latest information scheduled for delivery within September. The previous official website and X account will be closed around September 7 at 17:00. TYPE-MOON also published a notice stating that partial changes had been made to the overall development structure and the structure within TYPE-MOON studio BB, and that staff credits on the new official website will be updated accordingly. The game remains planned for release on PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Kinoko Nasu handles the original work and script supervision, with Takashi Takeuchi on character drafts and Arco Wada on character design, developed by Meteorise.","whyItMatters":"Kazuya Niinou, who served as studio director and game director on the remake at TYPE-MOON studio BB, announced on his X account that he is leaving the studio and has stepped down as director, having already left the development site, making the structural change at the studio the key uncertainty behind the distribution transfer.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNintendo Switch 2 support:\u003c/strong\u003e Denfaminicogamer notes the Switch 2 as a newly confirmed supported platform alongside the previously announced PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC via Steam.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKazuya Niinou\u0026#39;s departure:\u003c/strong\u003e Niinou, who produced the original \u003cem\u003eFate/EXTRA\u003c/em\u003e and served as studio director and game director on the remake, announced on X that he has stepped down and left the development site.
