The Fate/strange Fake anime will have a world premiere of a new episode at Los Angeles’ Neue House Hollywood this November. The episode will also be broadcast within the year.
Two character visuals from character designer and chief animation director Yukei Yamada were also released. One depicts Tiné Chelc and Archer while the other depicts Lancer and Silver Wolf.
Fate/strange Fake is based on the KADOKAWA-published light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Shizuki Morii, one of the many titles in the massive Fate multimedia franchise. The anime started with the TV special Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-, which premiered at Anime Expo 2023, Crunchyroll, and Japanese television after missing its original premiere as part of the Fate Project New Year’s Eve TV Special. A TV anime was announced last July.
The Type-Moon wiki describes the light novel series’ plot as:
Fate/strange Fake takes place around 2009. The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. After the end of the third Grail War, an organization from the United States that has magi separate from the London-based Mage Association as members took data from Fuyuki’s Grail War and planned their own ritual. After seventy years, they used the city Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. They were unable to successfully copy every aspect of the ritual, which led to it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the definition of “hero” being blurred.
Many of the Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- staff also worked on the Fate/strange Fake light novels’ TV commercial.
