Koei Tecmo will add a new update to Fate/Samurai Remnant make Rogue Servants or Servants belonging to other Masters playable when reminiscing on past story battles. There will also be new difficulty modes. [Thanks, KaroshiMyriad!]
There is no information yet as to when to expect this update. While Fate/Samurai Remnant grants you control of characters such as Archer and Lancer, these battles are story-locked and they were not always playable. After a certain point in the game, you could unlock the function to replay story battles. However, even then, you could only use Saber and Iori. After the update, you’ll be able to play as both Rogue Servants and Servants that belong to other Masters.
As for the two new difficulty modes, it’ll be Easy and Hard. Easy Mode will be for players who only wish to enjoy the story. Meanwhile, Hard Mode forbids the usage of items, and you won’t be able to Retry if you lose.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is a spin-off of the main Fate series, putting the player in control of Miyamoto Iori. It’s a combination of Koei Tecmo’s usual hack and slash musou style, but with more of an emphasis on parrying and dodging. You can also level up Iori and Saber, as well as Rogue Servants, with a skill system. The story follows Iori after he becomes a Master in the Waxing Moon Ritual, which is a variant of the usual Holy Grail War. WIth Saber, he must face off against rivals and enemy Servants, who are all historical or legendary figures.
Fate/Samurai Remnant is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and Nintendo Switch. The new update to play as Rogue and enemy Servants when you reflect on past story battles will come some time in the future.
