If you’re a Code Geass fan, you might want to sit down for this one. The franchise just dropped some massive announcements during the “Code Geass Project ‘To 20th'” event, and honestly, it’s almost overwhelming how much good stuff is coming our way.
The biggest news? We’re getting a brand new anime called Code Geass: Hoshi Oi no Aspar (Aspar the Star Chaser). This isn’t just another side story or recap—the team is describing it as a fresh chapter that “reinvents the world of Code Geass.” That’s a pretty bold statement, and it’s got fans buzzing with theories already.
What makes this particularly interesting is the completely new creative team behind it. Kazuya Nomura, known for his work on Moriarty the Patriot and Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie, is taking the director’s chair. Mado Nozaki (Hello World, KADO: The Right Answer) is handling the scripts, while Rolua brings their talents to character design. For the mecha designs—specifically the Agarmatha units—Yoshi is on board. It’s a fresh perspective for the franchise, and that could mean we’re in for something genuinely different.
The Gundam Wing crossover nobody saw coming
Here’s where things get really wild. Code Geass is crossing over with Mobile Suit Gundam Wing in a new manga collaboration. Yes, you read that right. Two of the most iconic mecha franchises are finally meeting, and it’s happening as Gundam Wing celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Tomofumi Ogasawara, who worked on Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, is creating this crossover manga. Details are still pretty scarce, but just the concept alone has fans of both series absolutely losing their minds. The possibilities here are endless, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to see how these two universes interact?
Rozé of the Recapture hits Japanese TV
If you’ve been following Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, mark your calendars for July 2026. That’s when the series will finally air on Japanese television. It’s been a bit of a wait, but it’ll be worth it to see how this story fits into the larger Code Geass timeline.
A full tear of celebrations ahead
The 20th anniversary celebration doesn’t stop with just new anime and manga. The franchise is going all out with a packed schedule of events. Starting January 6th, all 13 Code Geass films will get a theatrical re-release in Japan. That’s your chance to experience the entire saga on the big screen if you’re in the area.
There’s also a new stage musical called A Knight who Follows His Beliefs 2 running in January and February, followed by a major 20th Anniversary Exhibition opening in Tokyo this September 2026. And in a fun modern twist, VTuber Lui Takane has been named the official ambassador for the series.
The Code Geass franchise has always known how to make a comeback, and this 20th anniversary is shaping up to be legendary. Between Hoshi Oi no Aspar, the Gundam Wing crossover, and everything else on the horizon, fans have plenty to look forward to in the coming months.
