Ten years in, KonoSuba is not slowing down. At this afternoon’s 10th anniversary stage event held at Pacifico Yokohama National Convention Hall, Kadokawa revealed the full production team behind KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! 4 — and with it confirmed that the fourth season will air in 2027. The entire main cast is back, and a new studio is stepping up to animate it.

Studio ENGI Takes the Helm — A Franchise First

The headline from today’s event: studio ENGI will produce KonoSuba Season 4. It is the first time in the franchise’s history that Kadokawa has assigned the series to one of its own joint-venture studios. ENGI, established in 2018 as a Kadokawa-backed operation, built its reputation with the 2025 figure skating drama Medalist — an adaptation that drew critical praise for its fluid character animation and emotional precision — and the 2023 Netflix kaiju series Gamera Rebirth. Previous KonoSuba seasons cycled through Studio DEEN (Seasons 1–2), J.C.Staff (the 2019 film), and Drive (Season 3 and the Megumin spinoff). Bringing ENGI in signals a deliberate push toward consistent in-house production going into the franchise’s second decade.

Full Season 4 Production Team

The confirmed crew for Season 4, as announced at today’s Yokohama event:

• Chief Director: Takaomi Kanasaki (returning — helmed Seasons 1 & 2 and the 2019 film)
• Director: Manabu Kurihara (new to the franchise)
• Series Composition: Makoto Uezu (returning — has written every prior KonoSuba anime season)
• Character Design: Koichi Kikuta (returning)
• Sound Director: Yoshikazu Iwanami (returning)
• Music: Masato Kōda (continuing as series composer)

Kanasaki’s return as chief director is the clearest signal that KonoSuba’s comedic rhythm and character chemistry will not be disrupted by the studio change. He has been the constant creative anchor across every major animated entry in the franchise. Kurihara coming in as director under Kanasaki gives ENGI room to evolve the visuals without breaking what fans love about the series’ pacing and gag timing. Uezu returning to write the scripts is equally reassuring — his command of the source material has been one of KonoSuba’s quiet strengths through three seasons.

The Whole Party Returns

All four lead voice actors who appeared on stage in Yokohama today are confirmed to reprise their roles. Jun Fukushima returns as the unlucky-but-resourceful Kazuma Satō. Sora Amamiya is back as the beautiful-but-useless goddess Aqua. Rie Takahashi reprises the explosive Megumin, and Ai Kayano returns as the masochistic crusader Darkness. No new cast additions were announced at this stage.

Season 4 and the Bigger Anniversary Picture

Season 4 is one thread in a broader 10th anniversary push that Kadokawa set in motion at the start of 2026. The slate also includes a brand-new official game — Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Kono Aisubeki Machi ni Hanei wo! (nicknamed Machisuba) — developed with an original story supervised by series creator Natsume Akatsuki and arriving on mobile and PC in 2026, along with a new audio drama, a commemorative song compilation, and a 10th anniversary exhibition scheduled for autumn 2026 at AKIBA_SQUARE in Akihabara.

How Singapore Fans Can Watch

Season 4 is confirmed for a 2027 broadcast — no specific season or airdate was announced at today’s event. Crunchyroll holds the international streaming rights for the entire KonoSuba franchise, and every prior season is currently available to Crunchyroll subscribers in Singapore. A simulcast for Season 4 is the expected arrangement once Kadokawa confirms broadcast details. For now, Singapore’s KonoSuba fans can follow the franchise’s official production news via Anime News Network for updates as they come, and check out all other anime coverage here at GameTrader.SG.
