It’s currently unknown if or when Aniplex of America will bring Spring Song to North American theaters. 

The Fate/stay night series is based on a visual novel developed by TYPE-MOON and released in 2004. Studio Deen produced the first anime series based on one of the three main routes of the game in 2006, Fate/stay night. Then Ufotable took over the series with a prequel anime called Fate/Zero in 2011, followed by another anime series adaption of different route in 2014 titled Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]. Ufotable is the main studio behind the Heaven’s Feel trilogy as it follows the third and final route of the visual novel.
