Warner Bros. Japan officially confirmed on Friday that Record of Ragnarok is returning for a fourth season — and if you’ve been waiting for a particular clash to finally hit the screen, the wait just got a whole lot more real.
Record of Ragnarok Season 4: What We Know
The announcement landed on 26 June 2026 through Warner Bros. Japan’s official channels, alongside a short production announcement video, the new Record of Ragnarok IV logo, and commemorative messages and art from the original creative team. Season 4 will animate the 10th and 11th battles of the gods-versus-humanity tournament. That’s all the timing information we have for now — no premiere date has been set.
Returning in the director’s chair is Koichi Hatsumi (Season 3 director, known also for Tokyo Revengers), with Yasuyuki Muto back as series composer. Animation production stays with the same pairing of Yumeta Company × MARU Animation that handled all three previous seasons.
What the Creators Are Saying About Battles 10 and 11
Illustrator Azychika dropped a celebratory manga illustration alongside the announcement, teasing the style of what’s ahead: “That incredible sword fight in the upcoming match is finally coming to life in animation! There’s even a gunfight!” as reported by Anime Corner.
Story writer Shinya Umemura added: “Season 4 will focus on the 10th and 11th battle. From an all-out, authentic sword-fighting battle to a strategic showdown reminiscent of the Jack the Ripper match…” And structure writer Takumi Fukui summed it up: “I can’t wait to see battles so intense they burn into your memory, and souls that shine with blinding passion.”
Between sword fights, gunfights, and a matchup compared to one of the series’ most psychologically tense bouts, the creative team isn’t underselling this one.
Season 3 Was a Netflix Hit — and Confirmed the Formula Works
Record of Ragnarok III arrived on Netflix on 10 December 2025 with 15 episodes and immediately posted up in Netflix’s weekly TOP 10 across 83 countries and regions. Singapore was part of that wave — the series has been one of Netflix’s consistent anime performers in Southeast Asia, and all three seasons are streaming there right now.
While Netflix has not yet formally announced distribution for Season 4, the existing relationship makes it the obvious home for the new instalment when it’s ready. We’ll be watching for that confirmation.
