Fans are still hoping to see Code Geass Season 3, although it has been 12 years since the previous season ended. As the franchise is dropping movies and other anime versions, is there still hope for a new season to come?
Japanese fans well-received the title with over a million sales of DVD and Blu-ray Disc volumes. It has also received several awards from different award-giving bodies, but why Code Geass Season 3 has yet to be in the works?
According to Devdiscourse, until today, there are no talks about the anime's third season. With the lengthy-time fans have been waiting to hear any updates, it looks like they have given up all hopes to see a new anime installment.
Will Ichirō Ōkouchi still write a new season? Some sources said the Japanese screenwriter has no interest in working on a third season anymore.
He has put his sole focus to do its movie version, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection. The film director, Gorō Taniguchi, even revealed the movie was made to explore the "avenues" that were never walked in the anime.
Anyhow, fans' high hopes seem to be renewed after hearing the upcoming announcement of a new Code Geass project on Saturday, December 5, at 8 p.m. Japan Standard Time on YouTube Live. Will it finally have something to do with the much-awaited third installment?
Monsters & Critics noted the announcement might be about the anime series, a new movie, a manga and light novel, or a mobile game. Whatever it might be, it is good to note that the franchise is planned to run over a long time.
Taniguchi also revealed at the 2019 Sakura-Con that they had a ten-year plan for the new series content. The Lelouch of the Resurrection was only the first part of the project.
Funimation, reportedly, had something to do with the making of the older announcement. So, it might be safe to assume that the upcoming announcement would be about the anime and might be Code Geass Season 3.
Anyhow, as Lelouch Lamperouge's mission seemed to be completed in the previous season, the making of a third installment might never be in the cards, per TechRadar247. Although there were fan-made theories that he was still alive after getting killed, most of its other characters' story arcs had wrapped up.
All the loose ends were almost tied up, and the storyline was already wholly told. So, there might be no need for Code Geass Season 3 to come.
