Series illustrator Shirow Miwa had previously worked for TYPE-MOON as the illustrator for Sigurd and Brynhildr in Fate/Grand Order, but he had also secretly designed other Norse characters as fan art on his own time, not as something TYPE-MOON asked him to do.Shirow Miwa Twitter 5:34 PM (JST) · Aug 21, 2020 He eventually submitted the designs for approval after seeing how Columbus Lily had also started as fan art,Shirow Miwa Twitter 6:41 PM (JST) · Sept 15, 2021 which led to the development of this series and the designs being canonized.Shirow Miwa Twitter 1:55 PM (JST) · Apr 13, 2022
When Hikaru Sakurai showed Miwa's art to Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi, she was surprised that the two of them responded by asking her to write Ragnar and Aslaug's story. She had expected that the characters would just be implemented into one of the existing Fate projects, not that they would have a whole new series to themselves.Fate:Lost Einherjar Volume 1 - Afterword
At Comiket 100 in Summer 2022, Shirow Miwa sold a doujinshi called Romancia:Aurora with rough sketches of the characters and other unofficial illustrations.Shirow Miwa Twitter 8:51 AM (JST) · July 13, 2022 Romancia:Aurora was written before Fate:Lost Einherjar's setting was completely finalized, so some things in it were changed by the time Lost Einherjar was published.Shirow Miwa Twitter 6:25 PM (JST) · December 31, 2022
Fate:Lost Einherjar is the first Fate series to have a colon in the title instead of a forward slash.
