One of the greatest anime of all time is finally coming back with a brand new series from a legendary game auteur. CloverWorks, Inc. Industry Panel at Anime Expo 2026 officially debuted the English version of a new trailer for the next The Gospel project, which will be an entire series by Yoko Taro, the visionary behind it Dragon Guard and Nier franchise.
The new one The Gospel anime will feature a script and story written by Yoko Taro himself, with music by Keiichi Okabe (who previously worked on both the original Nier and Nier: Automata), and direction of The Gospel veterans Kazuya Tsurumaki and Toko Yatabe. Little is known about Yoko Taro's The Gospel anime otherwise, but the trailer gives some hints as to what the series might cover.
Yoko Taro is writing a brand new Evangelion series
A new one The Gospel The anime alone is a big deal, but Yoko Taro personally writing the show's script while crafting his story direction is a huge plus. Yoko Taro's brand of depression, darkness, philosophy, and nuanced character writing aligns with series creator Hideaki Annos, making him the perfect artist to take over The Gospel franchise in Anno's absence.
Studio Khara's teaser for Yoko Taro's The Gospel series includes a message, written as, “An eternal summer vacation. This place is our paradise. This place is our graveyard. What we hear is the song of eternal damnation. We pray that your souls rest in peace.” The trailer itself features scenes of an overgrown piano and violin in what appears to be a dilapidated area, hinting that the new series will take place between the events of Evangelion 3.0 and Three times in timeends.
The New Evangelion Anime will be directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki, the director of Rebuild Movies
Kazuya Tsurumaki will bring to life the writing of Yoko Taro, one of several directors who worked with Rebuilding Evangelion franchise. Along with Hideaki Anno, Tsurumaki directed all four films in the film Rebuild series. Tsurumaki also directed Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuXa very nice (and sometimes confusing) alternative version of Gundams Universal Century timeline.
