Vanguard Live Stream Unveils Exciting Events for the 8th Anniversary of “FGO”!

After much anticipation, on July 11th, the vanguard live stream for the Japanese-style RPG mobile game “Fate/Grand Order” (FGO), exclusively distributed by bilibili Games, kicked off, sharing an extraordinary evening with Masters who had been eagerly awaiting. As a 2D game that has remained popular for eight years, FGO boasts a massive player base, and even before the live stream began, players were already waiting in the chat room.

At exactly 7 PM on the 11th, the vanguard live stream commenced, featuring three Bilibili UP hosts and representatives from FGO’s operations team, who together presented mysterious summer updates to the players. The live stream previewed numerous exciting activities and benefits for the 8th anniversary celebration, as well as announced upcoming offline celebration events. If you missed it last night, be sure to catch up on this fantastic special broadcast celebrating the 8th anniversary of FGO!

【Celebration Activities Overflow with Excitement, Limited-Time Benefits Show Appreciation】

The FGO 8th anniversary vanguard live stream started with its annual fun data showcase, revealing some interesting statistics from the past year, such as the top 10 servants with the most level 100s and the top 10 swimsuit servants with the most level 120s since the game’s launch. Among the servants reaching level 100 in the past year, Kuma Miru, the only male servant, ranked sixth, truly living up to his name. Unsurprisingly, Princess took the top spot.

The 8th anniversary of FGO will coincide with the opening of the limited-time servant “Ashen Savior” banner. Ashen, the Rain Witch who left a deep impression on players during the game’s storyline, is finally set to meet the players on this occasion. As a meticulously designed limited servant, Ashen features two unique Noble Phantasm animations, two battle models, and three sets of voice lines. The four card faces display four different stages of the character, and in terms of strength, she is considered the top Arts-class nuker, a gesture of sincerity. Wonder if the Masters have saved enough Saint Quartz?

With the debut of the anniversary servant Ashen, FGO will also re-air the Chapter 2.6 audio drama on Bilibili, airing for a limited time from July 25th to August 25th. Masters interested should not miss out.

In addition, FGO’s 8th anniversary celebration introduces the first-ever dual-limited fortune bag summoning event. During the event period, each player gets one chance to summon from each of the two limited banners. The 8th anniversary commemorative fortune bag guarantees a limited 5★ (SSR) servant for just 15 paid Saint Quartz. Meanwhile, the new limited summoning system – Destiny Order – ensures obtaining one of the nine chosen ★5 (SSR) servants in an 11-roll limited summon! This presents a new opportunity for the CN server to obtain the highly popular servant “Beast Nero” (Sodom and Gomorrah’s Beast / Draco), don’t miss out!

This year’s main visual is once again illustrated by the popular domestic artist Star Shadow Mage. In the bright afternoon forest, Mash, Artoria Caster, Bavanasi, Morgan, Tezcatlipoca, and Tlaloc are depicted playing in the scene, with subtle cameos of Oberon and Douman in the distance. This main visual will also be implemented in-game as a commemorative craft equipment, and the 8th anniversary celebration offers a CN-exclusive 8th anniversary personal space background to players, filled with many hidden Easter eggs for Masters to discover. Both will be implemented after the anniversary celebration goes live on July 25th.

During the anniversary event period from 7:00 PM on July 25th, 2024 (Thursday) to 1:59 PM on August 11th, 2024 (Sunday), Masters can accumulate logins to receive anniversary benefits, complete limited-time event quests for up to 60 rolls, and the game will also launch an anniversary memorial event.

【Special Commemorative Exhibition Returns to Shanghai, Deep Dive into IP Charm】

From August 3rd to August 4th, 2024, FGO will hold an 8th anniversary special commemorative exhibition – Summer Wonderland in Shanghai, offering players a marvelous viewing experience in the heat of summer. This exhibition incorporates the concept of “pilgrimage,” where every attendee will carry the Chaldea Passport and gradually tour through six major IP content zones.

Visitors can wander through the intricately constructed mystical forest, visit the God of Sacrifice Cernunnos, engage in a culinary power competition at the Chichen Itza Arena, and view the richly detailed “Fairy Realm Britain” themed exhibition and TYPE-MOON themed exhibition. By completing this unique “pilgrimage,” players will gain a deeper understanding of the world of FGO and feel the creative passion and artistic craftsmanship behind the game.

This summer exhibition focuses on a lightweight approach, enriching the gifts included in the entry souvenirs, including the most anticipated Haori, practical drawstring bags, and lacquer fans with interactive on-site experiences.

Note: The address for the FGO 8th anniversary special commemorative exhibition is at the West Bund Art Center N Hall, No. 35 Fenggu Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai. Masters interested in attending should pay attention to official updates.

【8th Anniversary Gifts for CN Players, Surprises in FGO Gratitude Event!】

It includes personalized custom stamps, postcards, and sticker sets with collectible value. The official will distribute over 5,000 commemorative gift boxes for free, with relatively relaxed conditions for acquisition.

Towards the end of the live stream, the official specially previewed a teaser for the CN-exclusive 8th anniversary special project “Eight Directions of Strange Tales.” Alongside the starlight slowly passing across the video, let us look forward to the official announcement of the CN-exclusive 8th anniversary special project “Eight Directions of Strange Tales” on July 25th.

The spectacular FGO 8th anniversary special broadcast concluded amidst the reluctance of players. Apart from previewing various exciting online and offline activities and rewards, the live stream also announced a public welfare science popularization project with the museum, making us wonder what kind of “strange tales of planetary life” it will bring. As FGO is about to complete eight full years, here we wish FGO a happy 8th anniversary in CN!
