Attack on Titan’s fourth and final season was announced shortly after its third season finished airing, in July 2019.
The twisted and dark story of Eren, Mikasa, and Armin is finally coming to an end, and fans couldn’t be more excited for the series finale. Unfortunately, here is some sad news for Shingeki no Kyojin fans.
Season 4 Delayed
Attack on Titan’s fourth season has been delayed. Even though it hasn’t been officially announced yet, the news comes from @YonkouProd Twitter account, an unofficial yet reliable source for anime news.
No reason has been given for the delay but it is probably because of COVID-19.
The final season of Attack on Titan was supposed to be released in Fall 2020. Despite the insane popularity of the show, it was suspicious that no announcements had been made even though it’s already Summer 2020.
This was linked to a rumor in 2019 that WIT Studio, which has been animating the show for the past three seasons and gained much appreciation, might not produce the fourth season.
New Studio for AOT S4
@YonkouProd also tweeted that a new studio will now be animating the fourth season of Shingeki no Kyojin. One of the things fans love about the show is its animation quality, so whichever new studio gets the job has a lot to live up to.
With the anime changing studios and the production issues caused by COVID-19 across the industry currently, it is no surprise that Attack on Titan’s final season has been delayed.
Which studio do you think would be the best to animate the fourth season? Let us know in the comment section below.
