Code Geass: Star Chaser Aspal arrives in 2027 with its first teaser

Code Geass: Star Chaser Aspal will launch in 2027. The confirmation arrived with the first teaser for Sunrise's new animated production, released through the franchise's official portal on September 26, 2026. The video provides the first look at the work's world, but it does not give a release month, cast, episode count, broadcaster or streaming platform.

The project was introduced in December 2025 as a completely new animated Code Geass work. The key change is that it has moved from a production announcement to a concrete release window. That resolves one question, but it does not justify calling Star Chaser Aspal a direct sequel to an earlier series: its position in the franchise timeline has not been officially explained.

What the teaser confirms

The footage shows a premodern-looking society, including archers firing on a battlefield, alongside a large combat machine. The contrast between traditional weapons and advanced technology is visible in the teaser. Reading it as evidence of a war between civilizations or a separate timeline would still be speculation, however, because Sunrise has not published a synopsis.

The brief dialogue revolves around the idea of happiness. One voice asks what happiness means, while another promises to grant it to the person being addressed. The material does not officially identify the characters or explain the circumstances of that exchange. As a result, the teaser establishes a tone and a visual conflict without revealing the protagonist, factions or central objective.

The official website confirms Kazuya Nomura as director and Mado Nozaki in charge of series composition. Rolua is responsible for character design, while Yoshi. is credited with “Agalmata” design. The announcement has not yet explained what that term covers, so it would be premature to treat it simply as the generic name for the machines seen in the video. Sunrise is credited for the original work, planning and animation production.

A release year without a release format

The 2027 window places Star Chaser Aspal in the next stage of the franchise's 20th-anniversary period. Code Geass began on Japanese television in 2006 and has since expanded through sequels, films and stories set in different parts of its universe. The new title follows Code Geass: Rozé of the Recapture, but no narrative connection between the two has been announced.

Choosing imagery far removed from the cities and military structures most commonly associated with the franchise could broaden the narrative territory available to Code Geass. That is an editorial inference based on the teaser, not an official plot description. The confirmed information is narrower: forces using bows and arrows appear opposite much more advanced combat technology.

For viewers, the next decisive disclosures will be the release format, synopsis, cast and distribution outside Japan. Until those details arrive, the 2027 window is a production milestone rather than a global availability date. The teaser makes Star Chaser Aspal more tangible while withholding the answers that would establish how it connects to the rest of the franchise.
