The story is set in the year 2015, during the final era over which magic still held sway. The humanity survival and security organization Chaldea was established to observe the world that can only be seen by magic and the world that can only be measured by science — as well as to prevent the final extinction of mankind.
Thanks to the efforts of many researchers, the path of human history has been ensured for 100 years into the future. However, without warning, the realm of the future that was under constant observation by Chaldea vanished. The extinction of humanity in 2017 was observed — no, confirmed.
The apparent cause of the extinction was in the Japanese city of Fuyuki in 2004. In that city, there was an "unobservable realm" which had never existed until now.
Chaldea issued the Grand Order for a "Holy Grail Expedition," to investigate, uncover, and possibly destroy the singularity that apparently will cause the extinction of humanity.

Where it came from
Fate/Grand Order: First Order was produced by the studio Lay-duce and released in 2016 as a feature-length television special. It serves as an introductory adaptation of the prologue chapter of the Fate/Grand Order mobile game, developed by Delightworks and Aniplex. The project was conceived to translate the game's expansive narrative structure into a cinematic format, providing fans with a visual representation of the Chaldea Security Organization's initial mission to restore human history.
The production was directed by Hitoshi Nanba, who sought to capture the high-stakes atmosphere and complex character dynamics established in the source material. By focusing on the protagonist Ritsuka Fujimaru and the demi-servant Mash Kyrielight, the film aimed to establish the foundational lore of the franchise for both long-time Type-Moon followers and newcomers. While received as a functional and necessary entry point to the expansive game universe, critics often noted that its primary purpose remained tethered to promotional support for the mobile title.
