Overlord Season 4 has been officially confirmed, indicating that the anime television series Overlord will get a fourth season.
The issue is, when will Season 4 of Overlord be released? And how many light novel volumes will be adapted for the upcoming season?
In this post, we’ll discuss when the Overlord Anime Season 4 will premiere, as well as how many episodes will be available, but first, some background information:
Overlord is an isekai anime series set in a dark fantasy world. Ainz Ooal Gown, formerly known as Momonga, is the protagonist of this anime series.
When the game’s servers go down, Momonga finds himself transported into a popular online game called YGGDRASIL. Momonga starts looking across the world to discover out what’s going on.
There have been three seasons of the Overlord anime thus far. The first season aired in 2015 and included 13 episodes. Overlord’s second and third seasons, both of which premiered in 2018, each included 13 episodes. Overlord’s fourth season has yet to premiere.
In addition, a new Overlord film has been announced. The film, which will be released in 2023, will most likely be a sequel to the fourth season.
The release date for Overlord season 4 has been established, and many fans of the anime series are eager to learn when the next season of Overlord will be released.
So, let’s take a look at which light novel volumes will be adapted for the new season, as well as the official Overlord Season 4 release date.
Manga and light novel adaptations of Overlord Season 4
The Overlord anime television series, known in Japan as brdo, is based on a popular light novel that debuted in 2012.
Kugane Maruyama wrote the Overlord light novel series, which was illustrated by so-bin.
How many Overlord volumes are there?
In Japan, the Overlord light novel series has been released in 14 volumes as of March 2022.
There’s also a manga called Overlord. There are presently 16 volumes of the manga available.
If you enjoy the Overlord series, I strongly advise you to read all of the books in the series.
Is The Light Novel The Overlord Complete?
In 2022, the Overlord light novel series is still going strong, but the end is near. The Overlord series, according to the author, will conclude with volume 17.
The author, Kugane Maruyama, released volume 14 on March 12, 2020 in Japan.
In 2021, no new volumes were issued. In addition, the release date for Overlord light novel volume 15 is June 30, 2022.
Which Volumes Will Cover Season 4?
Season 4 of Overlord will cover light novel volumes 10, 11, and 12 before concluding with volume 12. Three light novel volumes will be covered in the fourth season. Volume 13 should be adapted for the new film.
The Overlord anime adapted three volumes for each season. Volumes 1 to 3 were covered in the first season, 4 to 6 in the second, and 7 to 9 in the third.
Take a look at Overlord Light Novel Volume 10 in English if you want to pick up where the third season left off.
How many episodes will there be in Season 4 of Overlord?
Season 4 of Overlord will consist of 13 episodes. The amount of episodes is the same as the previous three seasons.
That’s more than enough episodes to adapt three volumes of a light book.
Overlord will also feature a total of five seasons. So, after the fourth season, an Overlord season 5 is on the way.
I strongly advise you to read the Overlord Light Novels. To adapt all of the Overlord light book volumes, the anime will need another three years.
Release date for Overlord Season 4
Season 4 of Overlord has been confirmed, with an official release date of July 2022. The new Overlord picture is expected to be released in 2023, but the exact date has yet to be announced.
There’s also the film Isekai Quartet. Overlord fans have a lot to look forward to this year because it features Overlord characters. This year will see the release of the next Overlord light book volume, the Isekai Quartet movie, and Overlord Season 4.
Studio Madhouse has done an excellent job with this anime adaption thus far, and I am confident that Season 4 will be even better than the first three. The trailer looks incredible, so I’m excited for the fourth season. The trailer is embedded below.
If you’re a fan of the Overlord series and can’t wait for the new season, I highly recommend checking out Overlord goods. There has been some incredible work done for this franchise.
This Albedo Yukata Ver Overlord Figure and this Ainz Ooal Gown figure are two examples of the excellent goods developed for Overlord. Check out this amusing Ainz Ooal Gown Yukata Ver Overlord figure as well.
