Despite being announced three years ago, Code Geass: Z of the Recapture was put on hold indefinitely for undisclosed reasons.

Code Geass is making a triumphant return for its 15th anniversary after a long absence. The official website announced a special 'birthday screening' for Lelouch Lamperouge and a production presentation of Code Geass: Z of the Recapture scheduled for December 18, 2023 at Shinjuku Wald 9. The event will feature appearances by Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch), directors, and producers, as well as a special video teaser offering a sneak peek at the upcoming series. Tickets for the event in Japan will go on sale at Ticket Pia, starting at 4000 yen ($27.07), while details for live stream tickets will be announced later on the official website.

With the return of the popular series, fans finally have something to look forward to. Z of the Recapture was initially announced as a follow-up to the 2019 movie, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection, set in an alternate timeline. With no news on the plot of the series, fans anticipate it will continue directly from where its predecessor left off.

The upcoming show is essentially the third season of the anime, although it is not directly connected to the previous two seasons. It was first announced on December 5, 2020, which coincided with the fictional birthday of Lelouch Lamperouge. However, the series was put on hold until now, sparking various fan rumors and speculations.

It's important to note that the story of Code Geass: Z of the Recapture takes place in an alternate timeline, separate from the original timeline that concluded in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2. However, long-time fans of the series are eagerly anticipating the continuation of their favorite anime, which appears to be as promising and impactful as its predecessors.
