Exciting news for fans of the mega-hit Japanese anime series FAIRY TAIL. On August 27th, KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Gust Co. Ltd. announced the release date for Fairy Tail 2. The highly anticipated action RPG will be available both on PC and consoles.
The PC edition will launch on December 11 this year. Meanwhile, for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, the game will be released on December 13.
FAIRY TAIL 2 serves as a direct sequel to KOEI TECMO's 2020 game of the same name. It is also currently under development.
In it, players can expect to relive the dramatic culmination of the original FAIRY TAIL series – the Alvarez Empire Arc.
Meanwhile, the newly revealed trailer, titled "FAIRY TAIL 2 – PV1," offers fans a glimpse into the game's story. The trailer depicts the FAIRY TAIL guild facing off against the formidable Alvarez Empire and the world-destroying Black Dragon Acnologia.

On the other hand, publishers have also started accepting pre-orders for the upcoming RPG title. Fans and interested players can now pre-order two special editions, aside from the standard version.
The "FAIRY TAIL 2 GUILD BOX" edition includes the base game, a visual artbook titled "Sorcerer Magazine Special Issue: Game Release Edition Vol.2" inspired by the series' "Sorcerer Magazine." It also contains a special holographic Shikishi art board, available in three variations, and more.
For the ultimate fan experience, the "FAIRY TAIL 2 COMBO SET" pre-order edition offers all the items included in the GUILD BOX. Along with a special illustrated screen image featuring a printed autograph by series creator Hiro Mashima.
Additionally, a digital deluxe edition of FAIRY TAIL 2 will be available for pre-order soon.
