The new video not only offers a glimpse of the ending sequence but also features additional footage, including a preview of an intense clash between Saber and Gilgamesh.
The announcement comes as the Fate/strange Fake television series gears up for its full premiere, following previous special broadcasts and a prologue.

The newly revealed ending theme is titled “Senzaiteki na Ai” (Potential Love) and will be performed by the artist 13.3g. This announcement was accompanied by a “Night ver.” second key visual, adding to the growing collection of promotional material for the series.
Fans got their first listen to “Senzaiteki na Ai” in the latest trailer, which showcases more of the anime’s dynamic animation and introduces key moments from the hotly anticipated Holy Grail War in Snowfield.
The Road to January 2026: Fate/Strange Fake’s Release Schedule
The Fate/strange Fake anime is set to officially debut on January 3, 2026, with broadcasts on channels such as Tokyo MX, Gunma TV, Tochigi TV, and BS11. This premiere will be a special one-hour package, rebroadcasting the Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- TV special alongside the first episode of the TV series.
The anime adaptation has had a somewhat staggered release, with the Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- prologue special premiering in July 2023. The first episode of the TV series then had a world premiere broadcast at the Fate 20th Anniversary Showcase in Hollywood in November 2024, followed by its Japanese debut in December 2024 during the Fate Project New Year’s Eve TV Special 2024. While earlier plans hinted at subsequent episodes airing in 2025, they were later delayed to ensure quality, leading to the confirmed January 2026 launch. Crunchyroll has also confirmed that it will stream the series as it airs in Japan.
A-1 Pictures Returns for Animation
A-1 Pictures, known for its work on other Fate franchise titles, is animating the series. The main staff from Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn- are reprising their roles, including directors Shun Enokido and Takahito Sakazume, scriptwriter Daisuke Ohigashi, character designer Yuukei Yamada, and music composer Hiroyuki Sawano. Hiroyuki Sawano previously composed the opening theme “Provant” for the series, performed by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Jean-Ken Johnny and Takuma, and also worked on the ending theme “FAKEit” for the Whispers of Dawn special.
What is Fate/Strange Fake?
Fate/strange Fake is a light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Shizuki Morii, part of Type-Moon’s expansive Fate multimedia franchise. The story presents a “twisted recreation” of a Holy Grail War, set years after the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan. It unfolds in the American city of Snowfield, where new Masters and Servants gather for a conflict marred by irregularities, impossible summonings, and a missing Servant class, ultimately plunging the war into “the depth of madness.”
The narrative promises a “masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail.” The series has garnered significant attention for its intricate plot and unique take on the established Fate lore.
