The franchise has gained great popularity, and the ranobe is actively published. However, it is unlikely to be possible to watch season 2027 of the Sword Art Online anime before 4, since the author of the ranobe will need time to write new volumes.
The series has currently completed the Alicization arc, with another small Moon Cradle arc coming up after that, and the next story arc in the process of being written. A-1 Pictures will likely wait until that arc is completed, which will likely put the release date at least in 2027.

Alice >>>

The last season of Alicization was very poignant and interesting as soon as the new season, And how many more seasons are planned?
Good afternoon) The light novel is in ongoing and is still quite popular. The exact number of future seasons is now impossible to say for sure. Most likely, the light novel Reki Kawahara will be writing for a few more years, while his offspring is popular. And the light novel will most likely be filmed to the end.
I would say more like the fifth season. First, then gungame, alicization and 4th alicization: underworld war
Good day!
Technically, the entire Alicization is considered season 3, although the number of spin-offs and parts that the seasons were released on can confuse anyone)
According to the plot, they can and should be considered one season, but in fact 24 episodes of Alicization and 24 episodes of Underworld still say that these are different seasons. And yes, they are different storylines. In one purely Kirito goes and destroys everyone with conversations, especially at the end and underworld, where the emphasis is on secondary characters.
This is the problem of dividing the display into parts. While the creators are releasing one season, fans believe that two have already come out. Thanks for your arguments, they really call a lot of things into question) Nevertheless, the sources still claim that the next season is 4. We will definitely update the article if it really is confirmed that the season will already be 5)
