May 13, 2022

Production I.G is thrilled to announce the release of the fourth season of the epic SF series, Legend of the Galactic Heroes: The Neue These. Subtitled Intrigue, the new season is slated to start in Japan from September 30, 2022. The production team led by director Shunsuke Tada has been confirmed.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a Nebula Award-winning SF novel series created by Yoshiki Tanaka since 1982. Set in a distant future where two interplanetary super states, the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance are engaged in an apparently endless conflict, the novels portray the complex psychology of characters from both sides, delve deep into military strategy, and tackle political and social differences. The novel is currently spanning over 15 volumes, totaling more than 15 million copies sold in Japan alone, and it has been translated in English, Mandarin and Korean.

The novel received several anime adaptations since 1988, but in 2018 Production I.G started a new approach to the source material, which is currently counting four seasons:
- Season 1: Encounter (2018)
- Season 2: Starchaos (2019)
- Season 3: Collision (March 2022)
- Season 4: Intrigue (September 2022)
