New anime project marks franchise milestone with medieval setting teaser
Sunrise serves as the production studio for the new anime, bringing its experience with the franchise to bear on this latest entry. The project is timed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Code Geass series, connecting it to the legacy of the original works. Although the creators have not revealed the specific connection of Aspal with previous projects, the anniversary timing suggests a significant role for the new story within the broader universe.
Kazuya Nomura directs the series, bringing his background from titles like Feel the Wind and Moriarty the Patriot to the helm. Mado Nozaki handles series composition, adding experience from KADO: The Right Answer to the writing team. Character design is managed by Rolua, while mech design is handled by Yoshi, who is known for his work on NieR: Automata. This combination of creators suggests a focus on both narrative structure and mechanical aesthetics.
The teaser trailer depicts a world reminiscent of medieval Europe, which has sparked discussion among fans about the setting. Fans suggest that the action will unfold in a parallel world or a different historical period where technologies developed differently. Creators have not shared plot details or confirmed these fan theories, leaving the exact technological development paths of the story unknown. The visual style appears to diverge from the high-tech military aesthetic of earlier Code Geass entries.
The anime is scheduled for release in 2027, providing a clear target year for audiences. No exact premiere date has been announced, so viewers must wait for further updates from Sunrise. The project is currently in its early promotional phase with the release of the first teaser. Fans can track the official channels for more details as the production moves forward.
