Renewal Chances of Arifureta Season 3
An OVA for Arifureta is set to release on 25 September this year and it is expected that Season 3 will be announced once the OVA premieres. There are no such announcements for Arifureta Season 3 from the production houses but the season may get a renewal soon as it has to answer the cliffhangers left by the second season.
Several important chapters from the novel series by Ryō are yet to be included in anime and interestingly, the novel contains 12 volumes out of which only 6 have been preserved. Plenty of stories and twists are still left to be premiered and it feels amusing to still have more than a season left for the show!
What Can be the Release Date?
The series is very popular and is likely to get the announcement of a new season by the end of this year. Also, the leftover important plot has to be presented in the anime version. Hence we can expect the production to get completed next year and Arifureta Season 3 to be released anytime next year with a bang! The final decision still rests with the showrunners and we have to wait and keep an eye on every news and report about Arifureta Season 3 rolling in media. Hope we get to know the story of Hajime sooner!
