On April 30, 2025, the live broadcast titled 'Fate/Grand Order Caldea Broadcasting Station Vol.22 Ordeal Call IV Opening Ceremony Special' unveiled exciting new details regarding the popular mobile RPG 'Fate/Grand Order' (FGO). The new chapter, 'Ordeal Call IV Human Determination Court Trinity-Metatronios,' is set to launch at 20:00 on the same day, with a storyline centered around the Ruler class, the adjudicators of the Holy Grail War, taking place in Florence, Italy.
During the broadcast, a trailer was released featuring a character who ominously stated, "Accused, plaintiff, it seems like you've picked a fight. Well then, I will execute the sentence." This sets the stage for the intense narrative that players will experience as they delve into the new chapter.
Among the significant announcements was the introduction of two new servants: the 5-star Ruler class servant Metatron/Jeanne and the 4-star Lancer class servant Ashoka King. Both characters will be available through a pick-up summoning event starting immediately with the chapter's launch. The new Metatron/Jeanne has been illustrated by Ototsugu Konoe, known for his work on 'Fate/Apocrypha,' and is expected to be a standout addition to players' rosters.
The game will also introduce new items for skill enhancement and spirit origin materials, including 'Divine Color Lens' and 'Heavenly Mandate Holy Water.' These items are essential for upgrading the new servants and will be obtainable through gameplay.
In addition to the new characters and items, the broadcast revealed that three new permanent concept dresses would be added to the game. However, some existing concept dresses, such as 'Support Shooting' and 'Koyo Academy Student Council President,' will be removed from summoning after May 14, 2025.
Players will need to clear 'Ordeal Call II' and 'Ordeal Call III' to access the new chapter. Upon successfully completing 'Ordeal Call IV,' the Ruler class score will be added to the game's class scoring system, enhancing the competitive aspect of gameplay.
Moreover, the broadcast announced that Dante Alighieri and King Ashoka will become available as story summon servants after the completion of 'Ordeal Call IV.' This addition is expected to excite fans of the series who are eager to collect these characters.
To celebrate the launch of 'Ordeal Call IV,' FGO PROJECT is offering a login bonus of 14 Holy Quartz for players who log in between May 1 and May 8, 2025. This bonus is available to those who have cleared 'Singularity F Flame Contaminated City Fuyuki' by the deadline.
As part of the promotional efforts, a new TV commercial filled with thrilling scenes has also been released, alongside announcements of music distribution and various campaigns related to the game.
In addition to the new chapter, the dates for the 'FGO Fes. 2025' event have been confirmed. The festival will take place at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall from August 2 to August 3, 2025, marking a significant milestone for the franchise as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
For players looking to enhance their experience, a special webpage will be available, offering smartphone wallpapers related to 'Ordeal Call IV.' Fans can download these wallpapers by sharing the page on social media during the distribution period from April 30 to May 21, 2025.
Furthermore, shortcut boards to each chapter of 'Ordeal Call' have been added to the terminal screen, allowing players to navigate directly to their desired chapter without unnecessary transitions.
The upcoming weeks promise to be exciting for 'Fate/Grand Order' fans as they prepare for the launch of 'Ordeal Call IV' and the introduction of new content. With fresh servants, new gameplay elements, and events lined up, players have much to look forward to in the ever-expanding universe of FGO.
