Source-derived summary

Fate/Hollow Ataraxia (フェイト/ホロウアタラクシア , Feito/Horō Atarakushia) (stylized as Fate/hollow ataraxia) is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Type-Moon, and released on October 28, 2005 for Windows PCs. Type-Moon had released a version of the game without erotic content, and later released a port for PlayStation Vita in November 2014. The game is a spin-off of Type-Moon's earlier adult game Fate/stay night. A remastered version of Fate/hollow ataraxia was released worldwide for Nintendo Switch and PC in August 2025. The story takes place a few months after the events of Fate/stay night in Fuyuki City. It follows a time loop imposed on Shirou Emiya and Bazett Fraga McRemitz by the servant Avenger.

Development began between 2004 and 2005 as Japanese author Kinoko Nasu designed a story centered around characters in a time loop, that he felt allowed for daily life scenes, new character interactions, and the reveal of the mystery behind the Holy Grail War. The game was introduced primarily as a fan-disc intended to deliver a more "happier" follow-up to Fate/stay night that allowed the characters to coexist peacefully after the "tragic" events of the original visual novel.

The gameplay in Fate/hollow ataraxia uses non-linear gameplay which offers different scenarios with courses of interaction. The game was well received based on sales and critics.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2005 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1152105. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2014, 2025 and 2004.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
