Season 3 of Shangri-La Frontier premieres next year. To get fans ready, a new action-packed teaser trailer has been released.

Based on the light novel series by Katarina, the story follows a teenager who usually masters games deemed bad because of glitches or poor design, and he takes the skills he has gained to the best-selling full-dive VR game, where he dons a bird mask and becomes the character Sunraku. It would later be adapted into a manga series written by Katarina and illustrated by Ryusuke Fuji, with the anime series produced by C2C.

Season 3 of the anime series is directed by Hiro Ōki, with Kubooka serving as chief director, and Naoki Kotani as assistant director.

Shangri-La Frontier season 3 will premiere in January 2027.
