KOEI TECMO has announced more information on an update coming to Fate/Samurai Remnant in December 2023. The update was previously announced in October, but more information was not shared until now.

The first of these features involves the game’s “Battle Recollections” mode. “Battle Recollections” is unlocked after you progress to a certain point in the main story and allows you to replay some of the boss battles from the game. After the December update, players will be able to choose to play as other characters featured in the game, other than Iori and Saber.

The characters available to play as after the update are as follows:

• Archer
• Lancer
• Assassin
• Berserker (Musashi Miyamoto)
• Rogue Saber
• Rogue Archer (Arjuna)
• Rogue Lancer (Cú Chulainn)
• Rogue Assassin (Li Shuwen)
• Rogue Caster (Circe)
• Rogue Berserker

The second feature of the update adds two (2) new difficulty levels to the game, one easier and one more difficult. The easier difficulty is Apprentice and makes it so that players can enjoy the story more. It lowers enemy HP and attack, increases enemy knockdown duration, among other things.

The harder difficulty is Fatal Sword and is looking to be more difficult than the game’s current hardest difficulty, Sword Demon. Fatal Sword increases enemy HP and attack, there are no retries, and you can’t use items during battle. Truly this a mode for those looking for the ultimate challenge.

Fate/Samurai Remnant is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. This update with additional features is currently scheduled for a release in December 2023. If you’re interested in the game, consider checking out our review.
