Gen Urobuchi is Working on Fate/Zero Musical Adaptation

A musical adaptation of Fate/Zero will appear on stages in January and February 2025, with performances set to take place in Tokyo and Osaka. Urobuchi Gen, who wrote the original light novel series, will be the one to supervise the script.

Though there aren’t a lot of details about the Fate/Zero musical at the moment, we do have a key visual. It depicts Saber from the back, showing her at the Battle of Camlann. She’s standing in a field littered with corpses and swords, and you can’t see her expression. Aside from Urobuchi, we also know that Hideyuki Nishimori is the scriptwriter and producer. Nishimori previously worked on the stage play and musical adaptations for Persona 5 and Danganronpa 3. Outside of video game adaptations, he’s worked on many stage shows since he entered the industry in the late 1990’s.

As mentioned earlier, there’s not much else information out. So far, the website only depicts the key visual and staff. At the bottom of the page, there’s a big Coming Soon in front of the incantation for summoning a Servant, as well as Kiritsugu’s Command Seals.

Fate/Zero is a light novel series that ran from 2006 to 2007, and it was written by Gen Urobuchi to serve as a prequel to Fate/stay night. Urobuchi is a writer who’s known for his work on Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Psycho-Pass, and Saya no Uta. He’s also working on upcoming platformer Rusty Rabbit. Fate/Zero takes place a decade prior to the events of Fate/stay night, covering the Fourth Holy Grail War. Ufotable released an anime adaptation of it that ran from 2011 to 2012.

Fate/Zero is available on streaming platforms like Crunchyroll, and more information on its musical adaptation will appear later on.
