posted on by Egan Loo
The first film in the Fate/Grand Order The Movie Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot (Fate/Grand Order Shinsei Entaku Ryōiki Camelot) film project has been rescheduled to December 5. The film had been delayed from its August 15 opening, due to the effects of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on its production.
On Saturday, the online service Aniplex+ began selling sets of exclusive advance ticket passes with acrylic mascots. The sets feature illustrations of the characters in traditional Japanese yukata kimono for the summer. (People who already bought the film's advance ticket passes can still use them.)
The "Fate/Grand Order Chaldea Broadcasting Station 5th Anniversary Special" will provide more news on August 10.
The two Fate/Grand Order The Movie Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot films, Wandering: Agateram and Paladin: Agateram, adapt the "Dai Roku Tokuiten Shinsei Entaku Ryōiki: Camelot" (Order VI: The Sacred Round Table Realm: Camelot) story from the game.
