On Tuesday, December 31, 2024, the Fate/strange Fake anime officially announced its 2025 television run via the release of a new promotional video and more. This information was revealed via the “Fate Project New Year’s Eve TV Special 2024” program, consisting of three different franchise anime programs. Two of them are related to the television anime: its first episode and the Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- anime special.

Likewise, despite the first episode of the Fate/strange Fake anime airing during the program, it seems that a break will be taken before the series returns with episode 2 later in 2025. As of this article’s writing, there is no word on when exactly the series will return in the 2025 calendar year, but Summer or Fall 2025 seems most likely.

The Fate media franchise, in which the Fate/strange Fake anime is the latest addition, began with the 2004 Fate/stay night Japanese visual novel game. From here, the series was adapted into an anime and manga series, with several different adaptations in spin-offs in anime, manga, and beyond have come since.
