The new Code Geass entry appeared in Japan. The title was originally known as Z of the Recapture, but Sunrise has since renamed it to Roze of the Recapture. The new title appears as a movie series, and the first chapter launched in Japanese theaters on May 10, 2024.

Roze of the Recapture takes place five years after the Lelouch of the Re;surrection movie. It features an all-new cast of characters. The title's eponymous protagonist, Roze, is a strategy genius who is voiced in Japanese by Kohei Amasaki. He has an elder brother named Ash, who is also an expert Knightmare Frame pilot. The two are collectively known as the Nameless Mercenaries, and they take on a request to liberate Hokkaido from the oppression of the Neo Britannian Empire.

The new title comprises four movie chapters. The remaining chapters will appear in theaters on a monthly basis, with the fourth and final chapter launching on August 2, 2024. The movies will also be gradually available to stream via Disney Plus starting from late June 2024.

Sunrise has also published a new character trailer featuring Roze on the Code Geass series' YouTube channel:

At the same time, Bandai Spirits has opened the pre-order window for the Metal Robot Spirits <Side KMF> action figure of Ash's Knightmare Frame Zi-Apollo. The product is also available on the USA Bandai store at $175. The company will release the action figure in Japan in January 2025 and in the USA in February 2025.

The first chapter of Code Geass: Roze of the Recapture is available to watch in Japanese theaters. The pre-order window for the Metal Robot Spirits <Side KMF> Zi-Apollo action figure, which is set to release in early 2025, has also opened.

Sunrise will hold an event on December 18, 2023 to announce the development of Z of the Recapture, which will be a new entry in the Code Geass franchise. Guests who will be present include Jun Fukuyama, who voices Lelouch, and Yoshimitsu Oohashi, who will be the director. [Thanks, Comic Natalie!]

During the event, Sunrise will reveal the main cast, as well as an exclusive teaser. Since it also happens to be Lelouch’s birthday, there will be special airings of episode 6 of the first season and episode 5 of the second season. For reference, S1E06 was the episode when Arthur, Suzaku’s cat, stole Lelouch’s iconic Zero mask. S2E05 was the one when Ashford Academy threw a giant party to commemorate Suzaku returning. Both episodes are fairly lighthearted, focusing more on shenanigans than the rebellion. There will also be a stream of the event, though it will not be free.

Code Geass: Z of the Recapture is a direct sequel to Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, which was a movie that came out in 2019. It’s a new story unlike the previous compilation ones, and it takes place about a year after Zero Requiem. There’s a single key visual for it right now and it shows a completely new cast of characters. Despite how popular he remains, it's highly unlikely that Lelouch will make an appearance considering the timeline of Z of the Recapture.

Code Geass is readily available for streaming via services like Crunchyroll. More information on Z of the Recapture will come out on December 18, 2023.
