During the 10th anniversary event "Colorful" in Yokohama, Kadokawa announced that the fourth season of the anime series "KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!" will air in 2027. Alongside this, an ultimate teaser visual was released, showing the four main characters – Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness – from behind as they walk across a meadow toward a cloudburst. The slogan reads: "Onward to a new adventure."
The creative team behind the fourth season consists of familiar faces: Takaomi Kanasaki returns as overall director, while Manabu Kurihara – known for his work on "The Detective Is Already Dead" – serves as director. Makoto Uezu is in charge of series composition, Koichi Kikuta handles character design, Yoshikazu Iwanami oversees sound direction, and Masato Koda composes the music. The animation will be produced by Studio ENGI this time, making it the fourth animation studio in the series' history, following Studios DEEN, J.C.Staff, and Drive.
The cast remains unchanged: Jun Fukushima voices Kazuma, Sora Amamiya voices Aqua, Rie Takahashi voices Megumin, and Ai Kayano voices Darkness. Other returning voice actors include Sayuri Hara as Luna, Toru Inada as the Tough Guy, Ayaka Suwa as Chris, Yui Horie as Wiz, Masakazu Nishida as Vanir, and Aki Toyosaki as Yunyun.
To celebrate the anime's tenth anniversary, a special anniversary PV was also released, compiling scenes from all previous seasons and films. It is accompanied by a newly arranged version of the first opening theme "fantastic dreamer" ("fantastic dreamer -10th Anniversary Arrange ver.-") by Machico, which will be available digitally from July 26.
Additionally, the key visual for the exhibition "KonoSuba: Exhibition ~Cheerful~" was unveiled, taking place from October 12 to 31, 2026, at Akiba UDX in Tokyo. Advance sales for timed entry tickets run from July 26 to August 9 via ePlus. Tickets cost 4,800 yen (with merchandise) or 2,800 yen (standard).
The light novel series by Natsume Akatsuki and Kurone Mishima, which ran from 2013 to 2020 in 17 volumes, made its anime breakthrough in 2016 and is one of the most successful isekai comedy series. The fourth season was first announced in March 2025 following the release of the OVA "Bonus Stage."
