During MAPPA&#8217;s 15th anniversary livestream on 19 June, the studio dropped a second teaser trailer for <strong>Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc<\/strong> \u2014 complete with its full production crew and a surprise mobile game announcement \u2014 and then, almost in passing, confirmed that <strong>Dorohedoro Season 3<\/strong> is in active production with a teaser of its own.<\/p>\n<h2>Chainsaw Man: Assassins Arc \u2014 The Team Behind the Blade<\/h2>\n<p>The Assassins Arc adapts the sixth arc of Tatsuki Fujimoto&#8217;s Public Safety Saga, picking up after the events of the <em>Reze Arc<\/em> film. With Denji&#8217;s existence now known beyond Japan&#8217;s borders, a wave of international killers closes in \u2014 and MAPPA has now confirmed who is bringing that chaos to the screen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Director:<\/strong> Tatsuya Yoshihara (who helmed <em>Chainsaw Man: The Movie \u2014 Reze Arc<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Script:<\/strong> Hiroshi Seko (writer on Season 1 and the Reze film)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Character Designer:<\/strong> Kazutaka Sugiyama<\/li>\n<li><strong>Music Composer:<\/strong> Kensuke Ushio (whose Season 1 score became almost as iconic as the show itself)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The creative core that built the original season and carried it through to the Reze film is intact. One question MAPPA has still not answered: whether the Assassins Arc will arrive as a TV series or a theatrical film. The Reze Arc went to cinemas; whether this chapter follows that format or returns to episodic TV remains officially unconfirmed.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/chainsaw-man-assassins-arc-teaser.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chainsaw Man Assassins Arc official teaser art\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of MAPPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Watch the New Teaser<\/h2>\n<p>The 2nd official teaser \u2014 posted directly to the MAPPA CHANNEL on YouTube \u2014 is now live.

The opening animation for the game was created by the studio itself, and the opening theme \u2014 <em>&#8220;All the Lynch!! All the Mince!!&#8221;<\/em> \u2014 is composed by Ryo Kawakita of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCLkj0Hq1G8V4mIiKHHDXx1A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maximum the Hormone<\/a>, the veteran Japanese rock band who have been synonymous with Chainsaw Man from the very beginning. Gameplay details and a release window have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n<h2>Dorohedoro Season 3 \u2014 Officially Confirmed<\/h2>\n<p>MAPPA also used the anniversary livestream to formally confirm that Dorohedoro is returning for a third season. Director Yuichiro Hayashi \u2014 who shepherded the series through Seasons 1 and 2 and directed <em>Attack on Titan: The Final Season<\/em> \u2014 is continuing. A teaser video was shown during the event, giving fans a first glimpse of what&#8217;s ahead: Nikaid\u014d&#8217;s awakening, the moment Cross-Eyes&#8217; Boss removes his mask, and Saji&#8217;s transformation.<\/p>\n<p>No release date has been announced. Dorohedoro is available in Singapore on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and other streaming platforms. With MAPPA&#8217;s schedule packed, the wait may be long \u2014 but the greenlight coming so quickly after Season 2&#8217;s finale is a very good sign.<\/p>\n<h2>The Rest of MAPPA&#8217;s 15th Anniversary Slate<\/h2>\n<p>The anniversary program covered more ground than just those two reveals. <strong>Ranma \u00bd Season 3<\/strong> was confirmed for an October 2026 premiere on Netflix, with a new trailer and a talk segment featuring original voice cast members Kappei Yamaguchi and Noriko Hidaka. <strong>Jujutsu Kaisen<\/strong> held a special talk with the voice actors for Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu. And <strong>Oblivion Battery<\/strong> got a behind-the-scenes look at the animation process for its upcoming second season on Crunchyroll.<\/p>\n<h2>Last words<\/h2>\n<p>For Singapore anime fans, the 19 June MAPPA anniversary event was a rare evening where the hype arrived from every direction at once. Chainsaw Man and Dorohedoro have passionate local fanbases \u2014 and knowing that both franchises are moving forward, with the same creative teams already in place, makes the wait for release dates a lot easier to bear.
