Fate/Grand Order Wraps Up Nationwide Newspaper Ad Campaign

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Different Servants have appeared in regional papers across Japan

In light of the possible cancellation of Fate/Grand Order Fes. 2020,the hit mobile game is celebrating its fifth anniversary in a variety of ways. The first wave of tie-ins was announced in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine last week and includes a poster by series character designer Takashi Takeuchi, a manga starring Scáthach, a special side story for the Fate/Grand Order: Turas Réalta- manga by Takeshi Kawaguchi, an interview with WINFANWORKS, and a gift for users of Kodansha's Manga Pocket app.

Additionally, the mobile game launched its "under the same sky" project of full-page newspaper ads placed in regional newspapers around Japan. Each color ad is unique and focuses on a different character from the game. The final set of ads were published in the Kansai area papers this week. Fate/Grand Order fans across Japan have shared the color images from the first ad featuring Mash Kyrielight in the morning edition of Yomiuri Shimbun in early May.
