All Fate/Nasuverse Video Games

How many Sabers are there?!

Fate is a fickle thing. It’s also one of the most long-running and convoluted franchises in gaming. If you spend a day in the anime community, chances are you’ll hear someone’s unsolicited opinion on a series called Fate/Stay Night. Produced by Studio Deen in 2006, Fate/Stay Night follows Shirou Emiya, a normal young man thrust into a conflict known as the Holy Grail War. But, before it was an anime, it was a game.

Fate/Stay Night — the eroge/adult visual novel — was initially released on PC in 2004, but it wasn’t even developer Type-Moon’s debut work. No, that title belongs to Tsukihime. But, it would eventually become the studio’s most famous work, leading to a connected multiverse known as the “Nasuverse,” named for series writer and company co-founder, Kinoko Nasu.

So, let’s dive into the games that can be considered part of the Nasuverse, both directly associated with the Fate franchise and … not. In the process, learn exactly what we mean when we say that no one — no, especially not you — can escape the throes of fate. 

It should be noted, before we begin, that the jury’s still out on whether or not the entire Nasuverse is canonically in the same world. It would seem they do, though there is no real canonical crossover that would prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. So, for our sake, let’s just say the biggest commonality here is that most if not all of these games had Nasu involved in some capacity.
