Light Novel 'Fate/strange Fake' Gets TV Anime [Update 7/2]
The world premiere of the Fate/strange Fake anime special at Anime Expo 2023 announced on Saturday a television anime series for Ryohgo Narita's Fate/strange Fake light novel. The event also revealed a teaser visual (pictured above).
The text—Fake/states night—was originally placed as an April Fools joke on Narita's homepage, 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 eighth volume went on sale on February 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 also shipped on March 10.
Synopsis
Fate/strange Fake centers around an imperfect copy of a Grail War based on the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. Following the conclusion of the third Grail War, a US-based organization with magi distinct from the London-based Mage Association, used data from Fuyuki's Grail War to plan their own ritual. Seventy years later, they used the city of Snowfield as the Sacred Land for their own Grail War. However, they were unable to successfully replicate every aspect of the ritual, resulting in it acting only as an imitation that has lost the Saber class and allowed for the summoning of strange Servants due to the blurring of the definition of a "hero."
Rohngall and his pupil, Faldeus, have been dispatched by the Mage's Association to investigate the city and the state of the war. Faldeus, a US organization spy, has Rohngall sniped upon his arrival, despite knowing that Rohngall is a puppet. He declares that their Holy Grail War has been in development and is real, causing a commotion at the Clock Tower, and that he wishes to "advertise" the project to the Association.

So much for author not wanting to have an adaptation until the conclusion of the novel lol.
That was never the case. What Narita actually said is that they don't wish for a Grand Order collaboration until after it concludes. Adaptations (I mean we already have a manga) and featuring characters (e.g, Enkidu) are all still allowed.

Stop. Didn't they announce it at the end of last year? Or are they going to release another anime as a version?

The one announced before was for this special episode that just aired. https://myanimelist.net/anime/53127/

It was supposed to air at the end of last year but it got delayed for production reasons. It just aired and now we got news that we're getting a full TV anime season.
It's not that hard to understand. It's also easy to look it up.
