Back to Shangri-La Frontier
The series follows Rakuro Hizutome, a gamer who specialises in playing notoriously terrible games.
When he takes on the highly acclaimed VR game Shangri-La Frontier, he decides to approach it with the same fearless attitude — only this time, the game is anything but broken.
As Sunraku explores the enormous virtual world, his encounters with powerful enemies and unique characters continue to push him further into the game's mysteries.
What comes next?
Season 3 will continue the story after the events of the previous season, with Sunraku and his allies facing new challenges inside Shangri-La Frontier.
The latest announcement confirms that fans won't have to keep guessing about the return date:
January 10, 2027
That's when the next adventure begins.
The Countdown Begins
The wait is still several months away, but at least the destination is now clear.
With a new visual revealed and the premiere locked for January, Shangri-La Frontier is officially back on the 2027 anime calendar.
And for anyone who has already forgotten where Sunraku's adventure left off, now might be a good time for a rewatch.
