An all-new animated installment in the Armored Troopers VOTOMS franchise was announced today in celebration of legendary animation studio SUNRISE's 50th anniversary. The upcoming anime, made in collaboration with Production I.G, will be directed by equally legendary director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer) and is slated for a 2026 release.
Titled Armored Trooper VOTOMS: Die Graue Hexe, details remain scarce in its initial announcement teaser. While we do know that it is animated, the format in which it will be released remains a mystery – though several reports from major Japanese outlets without specifying the format are tagging it as a film.
In the meantime, those interested in checking out additional information, as scarce as it is, be sure to check out Armored Trooper VOTOMS: Die Graue Hexe's official website.
