Yamato Takeru, the Saber-class Servant from Fate/Samurai Remnant, appeared in the Japanese version of Fate/Grand Order. Type-Moon revealed at the very end of its Fate Project New Year’s Eve 2023 TV program that the character would join the mobile game on January 1, 2024. Players in the Japanese server have confirmed that a new gacha banner featuring the Servant appeared right at midnight in Japan’s time zone.
This character debuted in Fate/Samurai Remnant, an action RPG available on the PS5, PS4, Switch, and PC. As the Servant of the game’s protagonist, official outlets had to keep the true identity under wraps shortly after the game came out in late September 2023. Type-Moon formally removed the restriction after it published an interview on the game’s official website on December 22, 2023.
Type-Moon has also uploaded a new TV commercial video on Fate/Grand Order‘s YouTube channel. The last five seconds of this fifteen-second-long trailer features Yamato Takeru. The video is also available to watch right below:
The new addition of Yamato Takeru marks another inclusion of a key Servant from a Fate console game into Fate/Grand Order. In June 2022, Type-Moon and Lasengle added Charlemagne, the Saber-class Servant who is also the protagonist of Fate/Extella Link. The latter is a hack-and-slash action game that is available immediately on PS4, PS Vita, Switch, PC, Android, and iOS devices.
Fate/Grand Order is available worldwide on Android and iOS mobile devices. The Saber-class Servant Yamato Takeru appeared in the game’s Japanese version on January 1, 2024.
