Fate/Grand Order marks its 11th anniversary with a major new addition that’s already shaking up the player base: Azrael, a young version of the first Hassan-i-Sabah, enters the fray as a powerful five-star assassin. This isn’t just another servant drop — Azrael’s emergence ties directly into the game’s evolving narrative and the Grand Servants that have defined recent story arcs.
Introduced initially in 2025’s story as one of the formidable Grand Servants players had to confront to unlock the Grand system, Azrael quickly became a pivotal figure in the plot. His in-game debut offers players a chance to wield a character with both rich lore and strong gameplay potential.
Alongside Azrael’s arrival, the 11th anniversary includes revamped animations for a roster of fan-favorite servants. These updates bring fresh polish and improved combat visuals to enhance the experience across several classes.
- Cu Chulainn Alter
- Leonidas
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
- Henry Jekyll
- Romulus
- Gilles de Rais (Caster)
- Gilles de Rais (Saber)
- Eric Bloodaxe
- Mephistopheles
- Phantom of the Opera
True to the series’ tradition, this anniversary lets players use paid Saint Quartz for a guaranteed five-star servant on banners of their choosing. Uniquely, this year’s Grand Summon Selective Real Summon (GSSR) banners focus solely on Grand Servants, giving dedicated players a distinct chance to add these powerful characters to their rosters.
