FGO JP Summer 2025 – This Time Swimwear Characters Are Them!

Summer 2025 marks a milestone for Fate/Grand Order (JP): its 10th anniversary. During the August 2 staff-stream at FGO Fes. 2025, developers unveiled the Swimsuit Event 2025, set to go live in mid‑August, the perfect beach timeframe for the festivities!

What made jaws drop was the reveal of three all-new swimsuit Servants—one reward, one Summon‑only 4★, and the long‑awaited SSR debut of a fan-favorite. Let’s unpack who they are—and why this year’s celebration is capturing fire across fandoms.

Meet the Summer Servants

Passionlip (★5) – Swimsuit Debut at Long Last!
First time Passionlip arrives as a playable Servant in a swim-themed Spiritron Dress. She’s the only 5★ featured—finally upgraded from NPC cameo status. Crafted by Wada Arco, her new design balances CCC-era aesthetics with daring elegance. This is the first time she’s reachable outside BB Present events.

Kriemhild (★4, Paid Gacha) – The “No. 1 Water‑Flag” Finally Lands
Kriemhild joins as a Swimsuit version in a paid 4★ banner slot. A beloved figure among players for years, she’s finally getting the beach time she’s been missing. While still a gacha pick, many fans consider her a “welfare-quality” unit in terms of utility and value.

Huyan Zhuo (★4, Free Distribution) – The Surprise Goodie
Huyan Zhuo is being handed out for free during the event as a 4★ welfare Servant. No roll needed: complete story quest chains in the event, and he’s yours—guaranteed. A refreshing treat in a sea of banners.

What Makes This Lineup Special

This year’s trio hits a sweet spot. Passionlip brings long-awaited SSR power with a popular character fans have been requesting for years. Kriemhild serves as a balanced 4★ addition with strong Arts synergy. And Huyan Zhuo is a generous freebie that supports newer and returning players alike. Together, they offer a little something for everyone.

Emotional Beats Throughout the Event

The story’s presentation flows with cinematic rhythm:

Opening – A nostalgic montage of summer events past… followed by the staff calling out “Passionlip gets launched today” in low-tone suspense.

Mid-event story – Huyan Zhuo’s distribution teaser drops just as the water levels rise in-game. It’s like getting free beach towels at the charge-up moment.

Banner reveal – Flashing azures and golds signal SSR hype. You see Lip’s silhouette long before reveal. Fans lean closer—“Is that her?”

Post-banner tease – Kriemhild’s new Noble Phantasm animation is shown off during teardown stream; she now splits water with a lance blast. Cheers rise.
