The official website of the Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn special anime announced on Wednesday that its broadcast will be postponed due to production issues. The anime was originally scheduled to premiere on December 31.

Shun Enokido (Manga de Wakaru! Fate/Grand Order) and Takahito Sakazume (Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2 episode director) are directing the television anime at A-1 Pictures. Daisuke Oohigashi (Mahoujin Guruguru (2017)) is handling the script, and Yuukei Yamada (Fate/Apocrypha) is designing the characters. Hiroyuki Sawano (86) is composing the music.

Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn adapts Ryohgo Narita's action fantasy light novel, which originally began as an April Fools joke on Narita's homepage, titled Fake/states night. It was presented as a prologue and introduction to a role-playing game. The second volume of TYPE-MOON Ace reissued it as a stand-alone novel form under the title Fate/strange Fake in January 2009.

Kadokawa began publishing it through its Dengeki Bunko imprint in January 2015, featuring illustrations by Shizuki Morii (Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia). The seventh volume went on sale on March 10.

Type-Moon concurrently began releasing a manga adaptation by Narita and Morii digitally under its Type-Moon Books imprint the same month as the light novel, with Kadokawa publishing the print version. The fifth volume was shipped on February 10.
