Record of Ragnarok Season 4 Officially Announced: The War of Gods and Humans Continues
Exciting news for fans of Record of Ragnarok (Shuumatsu no Valkyrie): The fourth season of the series has been officially confirmed! According to Anime Corner, the announcement was made at an event following the series' final episodes. The epic battles that determined humanity's fate throughout the first three seasons will continue in the new season.
As you may recall, Record of Ragnarok begins with the gods deciding to destroy humanity. Valkyrie Brunhilde selects 13 human warriors to fight 13 gods on behalf of humanity, and each match pits the strongest humans in history against mythological gods. In the third season, the match between Nikola Tesla and Beelzebub was particularly well-received. In the fourth season, the question is who the next fights will be between.
As with previous seasons, the series' production was handled by Japanese studio Graphinica (first two seasons) and Yumeta Company (third season). It is not yet clear which studio will be responsible for the fourth season, but fans hope the visual quality will remain at the same level. Additionally, the series, which is streamed on Netflix, has a large fan base worldwide thanks to its international audience. The first season aired in 2021, the second in 2023, and the third in 2024. The fourth season is expected to be released in late 2025 or early 2026.
The original manga of the series, created by Shinya Umemura (story) and Takumi Fukui (art), continues to be published in Monthly Comic Zenon. So far, 20 volumes of the manga have been released, and the anime adaptation has not yet caught up to the manga. This means the studio has plenty of material for future episodes. The fourth season is expected to cover the story from "Ragnarok's 6th Match" in the manga.
What awaits us? Although there is no official release date yet, the announcement shows that the popularity of the series is still very high. The roles of characters like Buddha and Zerofuku in the last season could deepen even more in the fourth season. Additionally, the introduction of a new warrior for humanity is among the possibilities. Fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements from Netflix and Graphinica. Record of Ragnarok continues to be one of the most striking series in the anime world with its unique concept blending mythology and history.
