Fate/Strange Fake, which was written by Ryogo Narita, the author of Durarara and Bannaco, will receive a special TV animation episode titled “Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn” later this year. The production will be handled by A-1 pictures, who previously worked on Fate/Apocrypha in 2017. The episode is scheduled to release on August 24, 2025.
Along with the announcement, a teaser visual by character designer Yuki Yamada and a “Teaser PV” using music by Hiroyuki Sawano were released. Directors Shun Enokido and Takahito Sakazume, who have constantly shown great promise in depicting facial expressions in animation commercials for the Fate/Grand order app game will be returning to express their bold and dynamic style with Fate/Strange Fake.

This story is known for being the first Fate entry to take place in the United States. A new face of the Holy Grail War that was never seen before in the original Fate anime will be portrayed here. According to director Enokido, this work is made not only for Fate fans but for every Type-Moon fan (The parent company of Fate, along Tsukihime, Mahoyo and other related works).
The choice of two directors is also deliberate and meaningful to the story, according to Sakazume. The reason is that each of them will work on a separate part of the story, or more specifically, the True and False holy grail wars that act as the main theme for the events of this story.
Artist and Designer Morii Shizuki (Fate/Extra and Fate/Stay Night) will be doing the character planning, and Daisuke Daito (Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045) will be handling the screenplay. The character designer will be Arikei Yamada who also worked on Fate/Grand Order. In addition to the producing team, the main voice actors were also revealed. Kana Hanazawa will be doing Ayaka Sajo, and Tomoki Ono will be doing Sabre’s role. The servants, Archer and Lancer, will be handled by Tomokazu Kei and Yuu Kobayashi respectively. An official website is also nowavailable.
Fate/Strange Fake is currently being serialized as a Light Novel in Dengeki Bunko, and also as a digital manga by Type-Moon Books.
