Australians and other residents of the deeper southern hemisphere may be midway through their winters right about now, but it’s sunny and bright where it matters – inside mobile gacha games like Fate/Grand Order, whose English edition just debuted its second annual summer event.
Titled Dead Heat Summer Race, the new event breaks from last year’s tropical island colonization getaway by leaning into a desert rally race – the Ishtar Cup – hosted by none other than everyone’s favorite Mesopotamian-deity-slash-possessed-Fate-alumnus.
Opened earlier today, the event will have players experiencing silly missions and grindy battles to “promote” their favorite pairs of servants in a race across the desert.
