4th year of Keian Era, Edo Period. Several decades have passed since the end of a turbulent and bloody era. Everyone is enjoying the peace and quiet.

Miyamoto Musashi appears as a Berserker, and as the Servant of the prostitute Takao Dayu. Jeanne d’Arc Alter appears as a Lancer, and a Servant of Chiemon, who survived the rebels. Other Masters with unknown Servant include Ming China general Zheng Chenggong (with Archer Servant), martial arts scholar Yui Shousetsu (with Rider Servant), and Swedish Clock Tower mage Dorothea Coyett (with Assassin Servant). .
Rei Wataru, the artist of Fate/Grand Order -Epic of Remnant- Pseudo-Singularity III (which features Miyamoto Musashi as the central character), is designing the characters. Hikaru Sakurai (Steampunk visual novel series) and Yuichiro Higashide (Tokyo Babel), both of whom wrote the scripts for Fate/Grand Order, are overseeing the game’s story.
