Toshifumi Akai will direct the project at CloverWorks, with Tomoaki Takase (Occultic;Nine, Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend) providing character designs. The team of Keita Haga (Fate/stay night TV, Fate/Grand Order: First Order) and Ryo Kawasaki ) will score the soundtrack, while Takeshi Takeuchi (Fate anime franchise) serves as lead character designer.

Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majū Sensen Babylonia hits Japanese TV in 2019. The show will adapt the “Order VII: The Absolute Frontline in the War Against the Demonic Beasts: Babylonia” plotline from the smartphone game.

Fate/Grand Order began its life as a smartphone game, which launched in Japan in July 2015. The series made its North American debut two years later, on June 25, 2017. Since its relase, the title has gone on to gross $982 million in revenues in 2017, making it the world’s most profitable smartphone game.
