Fairy Tail details inclusion of Gildarts and Eclipse arc, new trailer

First announced in Famitsu this week, Koei Tecmo and Gust have officially announced the inclusion of Gildarts and the Eclipse arc in the Fairy Tail RPG for Switch.

Here’s the full rundown:

One of the most powerful additions to the FAIRY TAIL roster to date, Gildarts is an S-Class Mage who uses “Crush” magic to reduce anything he touches to rubble. Gildarts joins the fight in support of Natsu and other party members, using his overwhelming strength to help swing the odds in the guild’s favor. Throughout the adventure, fans will be able to put together their own dream team of FAIRY TAIL members and their rivals, including everyone from Gildarts to Erza, Gray, and Gajeel. The more characters continue to fight together in the same party, their bonds will gradually strengthen, and as their friendship level increases, special conversations called “Bond Dialogue” will play out, including original dialogue written specifically for the FAIRY TAIL game.

In addition, the first details of the game’s new Eclipse arc have also been revealed. This popular storyline revolves around “Project Eclipse,” an experiment that opens up a gate to the past, unleashing Dragons that lived over 400 years ago into the present timeline. Can Lucy and friends survive a fight against the great dragon Zirconis?

Koei Tecmo also confirmed a Digital Deluxe version of Fairy Tail today. It’ll feature a special Grand Magic Games costume, a bonus Lacrima set, and a DDX Limited Ryza costume for Lucy. Buy any version of the game within a limited time to unlock the early purchase bonus special Miss Fairy Tail costume for Erza.
