With a movie, a crossover spin-off and two seasons of KonoSuba: God\u2019s Blessing on this Wonderful World! already released, there\u2019s plenty of Kazuma, Aqua, Magumin and Darkness to enjoy.<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s far more where that came from, with KonoSuba season 3 now on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the Japanese light novels<\/a> of the same name, KonoSuba follows Kazuma Satou, a young boy who is transported to a video game-like world after his untimely death.<\/p>\n

However, Kazuma will now be levelling up with season 3 \u2013 here\u2019s everything we know about the next instalment of KonoSuba.<\/p>\n

KonoSuba season 3 release date speculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

KonoSuba season 3 will be released in April 2024<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Seasons 1 and 2 aired in Japan in January 2016 and January 2017 respectively, with film KonoSuba: God\u2019s Blessing on this Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson releasing in August 2019.<\/p>\n

After a long break, we got a spin-off series, KonoSuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!, which followed the adventures of everyone\u2019s favourite explosive mage, Megumin, in 2023 \u2013 and now finally, in 2024, the whole gang will be back together.<\/p>\n

What will the plot be for KonoSuba season 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

KonoSuba follows Kazuma Satou, a young boy who dies from a heart attack after saving a girl from an incoming truck.<\/p>\n

However, upon his death, he is transported to a world similar to that of a role-playing game (RPG), and soon forms a dysfunctional party including goddess Aqua, magician Megumin and knight Darkness.<\/p>\n

Seeing as the first two seasons and film covered the first five volumes of the light novel series<\/a>, KonoSuba season 3 will likely adapt volumes 6 and 7.<\/p>\n

Possible spoilers from here on out \u2013 but these volumes see Darkness leaving to marry a lord, possibly breaking up the misfit party of adventurers for good.<\/p>

Kazuma is living comfortably with the reward money as news of his victories against the Devil King spread.<\/p>\n

This soon sparks interest from the Crown, with Princess Iris enlisting his help to capture the Chivalrous Thief Chris, who has poached the empire\u2019s wealth.<\/p>\n

However, a skirmish with the Devil King\u2019s army ends in disaster, and Kazuma is exiled in disgrace and separated from his trusted party. The reincarnated former gamer will then have to clear his name \u2013 and uncover a far-reaching royal conspiracy while he\u2019s at it\u2026<\/p>\n

Season 3 will also likely develop the budding relationship between Kazuma and Megumin, which was a key focus of the 2019 movie.<\/p>\n

Is there a KonoSuba trailer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kadokawa shared the season 3 trailer along with the April 2024 release date reveal.<\/p>\n
