After being on our radar for a while, we’re finally getting a Fate Trigger early access period next year. There’s currently an ongoing closed beta test with hundreds of thousands of players testing it out, so it seems likely that any issues will be ironed out in time for all of us to jump into the game’s early access in Q1 of 2026.
The reveal came during Gamescom Opening Night Live, along with a swish new trailer showing off more characters, more combat, and more cars. The game is a new take on battle royales, with a tactical shooter core, survival, and anime elements in the mix, along with different modes like 8v8 deathmatch and ranked battles.
The character design in the game is modern, but reminiscent of Hoyoverse with games like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, or Etheria: Restart. You don’t often see this sort of anime style in battle royale games, so we’re intrigued.
