Log Horizon Season 3 Delayed to January 2021 Due to COVID-19, New Visual Released

Sad news for fans who were excited for the long-awaited 3^rd season of Log Horizon: NHK has announced this Monday that Log Horizon: Entaku Houkai (Log Horizon: Fall of the Round Table) has been delayed from its original October 2020 premiere to January 2021. The delay is caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

As a seeming consolation to fans saddened by this news, a new visual for the now-delayed 3^rd season has been released.

The novel was adapted into a two-season anime series in 2013 and 2014. The upcoming third season shares the same title as Log Horizon’s 12^th volume.

Story supervision will still be done by Syouji Masuda, with Shinji Ishihira returning to direct the series for Studio DEEN. Series scripts will still be overseen by Toshizo Nemoto, with Shouji Hata as sound director and Yasuharu Takanashi as music composer.

Log Horizon is a novel series written by Mamare Touno, with illustrations done by Kazuhiro Hara. It tells the story of how characters Shiroe, Naotsugu, and Akasuki survive in the fantasy game world of Elder Tale, where 30,000 gamers are trapped and hence have to fight in order to survive.
