Story[]
|
« “This is a Holy Grail War covered in lies.” » |
In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants)
fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire.
Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan.
Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield.
Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather...
A missing Servant class...
Impossible Servant summonings...
A nation shrouded in secrecy...
And a city created as a battleground.
In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness.
Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes,
made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail.

Development[]
Previously in 2019, A-1 Pictures animated a commercial for the Fate/strange Fake light novel. The directors, composer, and character designer from that commercial returned for -Whispers of Dawn-. The directors also worked on most of the Fate/Grand Order animated commercials.
Similar to the Mahoutsukai no Yoru movie, both a web domain and Twitter account were created weeks before the reveal, left inactive until the time of the reveal.[3] At the time, the URL for the website simply led to an error on Aniplex's domain.
The anime was teased on September 22, 2022 when Aniplex revealed on Twitter that their next big announcement would be part of a series that had had several anime and films in the past, with the key word "April Fool's", referring to how Fate/strange Fake had started as an April Fool's joke called "Fake/states night".[4]
The anime adaptation was announced on September 24, 2022. It is the first TYPE-MOON anime to get a simultaneous English dub release, with the English cast being advertised alongside the Japanese cast.
On December 07, 2022, it was announced that the "Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-", which was scheduled to be broadcast as a TV special animation, would be postponed due to production reasons. [5]
Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- adapts the first volume of the Fate/strange Fake novels. The rest of the story will be adapted in the upcoming TV anime adaptation, which -Whispers of Dawn- essentially serves as "episode 0" for.
