#Arknights: Rise from Ember Will Rise in 2025, New Teaser Reveals

Arknights [Rise from Ember] has received a new teaser trailer that finally reveals roughly when the anime will air: 2025.

The trailer itself provides another dramatic glimpse at the upcoming sequel to Fall 2022’s Arknights [Prelude to Dawn] and Fall 2023’s Arknights [Perish in Frost], with a character stating near the end, “‘All sins must come to an end.’ If so, then I will inevitably meet mine.”

The Yostar Pictures-produced Arknights anime series is based on Hypergryph‘s free-to-play tower defense gacha game for iOS and Android, which was first released in China in 2019 and launched worldwide in 2020. The plot of Arknights [Perish in Frost] was described as:

Oripathy, an incurable disease that slowly crystallizes the bodies of those infected until their deaths.

Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company that endeavors to find a cure and solve the problems that follow in the disease’s wake, and in an attempt to put a stop to the revolt of the terrorist organization known as Reunion Movement whose ultimate goal is the salvation of the Infected, Rhodes Island has formed a contract with the Yanese city of Lungmen and continues its mission there.

However, Amiya has found herself despondent since their battle against Skullshatterer, unable to accept the fact they were unable to save Misha.

In the meantime, Rhodes Island deploys a reconnaissance squad to an abandoned city discovered in the Lungmen countryside. There, the squad notices a strange phenomenon unfolding before them…

Arknights [Rise from Ember] was announced in April 2024. Aside from the TV anime, the game has inspired various animated promotional videos.
