Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star Download Size for PS4 Confirmed

The PlayStation Store listing for Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star was updated to show the game’s required storage space on PlayStation 4. According to the product page, viewed directly on the console, the digital version of the title requires 2.69 GB of free space on the internal hard drive. For a PS4 game, this file size is notably compact, which was welcome news for players managing limited storage. A smaller download size means less waiting time and an easier fit alongside other large installations common on the platform.

Gameplay and Story

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star is an action title with mechanics similar to Musou-style games. Players take control of powerful Servants, characters summoned from history and myth, to battle against massive armies on sprawling battlefields. The gameplay focuses on high-speed combos and flashy special attacks to clear objectives and defeat enemy leaders. The roster features a variety of Servants from across the Fate franchise, including characters from Fate/stay night, Fate/Apocrypha, and Fate/Grand Order.

The game’s main story was written by Nasu Kinoko, the original creator of the series, ensuring the narrative aligns with the established universe. The plot is told from the perspectives of multiple Servants, allowing players to experience the central conflict through different eyes and allegiances. This narrative structure adds depth and replayability, encouraging players to see the story to its full conclusion by completing each character’s route.

Physical and Collector’s Editions

In addition to the digital download, Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star was also released as a physical disc-based game for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. For collectors and dedicated fans of the series, a special package called the Noble Phantasm Edition was offered exclusively for the PS4 version. This premium set provided significant physical extras for those willing to invest in more than just the game itself.

The Noble Phantasm Edition included a physical copy of the game, a hardcover art book with over 100 pages of character art and concept designs, a cloth poster, and a set of 16 collectible cards. Each card featured artwork of a different Servant from the game. All of these items came packaged together in a custom collector’s box suitable for display. This edition catered to the franchise’s fanbase, offering tangible items that celebrate the art and characters of the Fate universe.

Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star was released in North America on January 17, 2017, for the PlayStation 4 and the handheld PlayStation Vita.
