An advertisement for the February issue of Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine has revealed that an anime adaptation of Gen Urobuchi and Type-Moon's Fate/Zero novel has been green-lit. Urobuchi, the scenario writer best known for the software from Nitroplus, collaborated with the software studio Type-Moon to write a prequel to Type-Moon's Fate/stay night visual novel software. The story is set a decade before Fate/stay night and reveals the 4th Holy Grail War that sets the stage for the war in the software.
The original Fate/stay night software already inspired a television anime series from Studio DEEN; Geneon Entertainment released that earlier anime in North America.
The February issue of Young Ace will ship on December 29. The artist Shinjirō is launching the manga adaptation of Fate/Zero in this issue.
