Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- TV special anime is set to be released in summer 2023. It was announced through a special video released by A-1 Pictures, which also released details about the additional cast and staff members, and theme song artist.
The special anime is set to adapt the Fate light novel written by Ryōgo Narita and illustrated by Morii Shizuki. It will detail the incident surrounding a fake Holy Grail War, which will be onset by a mysterious group from the US, who will copy the data from Fuyuki's Grail War and plan their own ritual.
