Fate/Grand Order will hold a new limited-time event, "Waiting for You at the End of Spring," starting July 1 at 20:00 JST. The event features a scenario by Makoto Sanda, known for The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II. Players who complete the main quests will receive a free 4-star servant, Gray Lily, but must choose between two class versions: Saber or Lancer. The two versions have different designs, Noble Phantasms, and parameters. The event also introduces a new 5-star Alter Ego servant, Ascalaphus, available through the gacha. The story is set in a singularity styled as a job experience amusement park where characters can become the self they want to be. Gray appears in a younger form, and Director Olga Marie also becomes younger. Participation requires clearing the main story chapter "The Beginning of Aftertime." The event runs until July 22. FGO is a free-to-play RPG for iOS and Android developed by TYPE-MOON, with Lasengle handling development and operations.
The event "Waiting for You at the End of Spring" was announced during the July 1 "Chaldea Broadcast Station Light Version" program. Alongside the Gray Lily welfare servant, a new costume for Demeter called "Atlantis Style" will also be implemented, depicting the goddess in her youthful days before becoming a mother. The Noble Phantasm animation for the costume was shown during the broadcast. Makoto Sanda, who wrote the Fate spin-off The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II, is handling the event scenario. According to his social media post, the event includes interactions related to the welfare servant and is finely crafted. The event's amusement park setting allows characters to explore "what-if" scenarios. The Gray Lily choice mirrors the Mecha Eli-chan system from a past Halloween event, where players picked one of two class variants. The 5-star Ascalaphus (Alter Ego) is the rate-up gacha servant. The event requires clearing the main story chapter "The Beginning of Aftertime," which was added after the conclusion of Part 2 in December 2025. FGO is available for free on iOS and Android.
