This announcement was accompanied by a stunning new key visual titled “Day of the Eclypse,” further igniting excitement among fans.

But Studio Eclypse's creative prowess doesn't stop there. Alongside their Berserk venture, they are also hard at work adapting the fan-favorite manga AoTnoRequiem into an anime titled “Attack on Titan: Requiem,” slated for a thrilling release in Fall 2024. This dual commitment to beloved franchises showcases the studio's dedication to delivering quality content that resonates with anime enthusiasts worldwide.

The Berserk franchise has a storied history of adaptations, from anime series to movies and video games. The first anime adaptation in 1997, covering the Golden Age arc, captured hearts but faced criticism for its fluctuating animation quality. Subsequent adaptations, including the 2012 movie trilogy “Berserk: The Golden Age Arc” and the 2016-2017 anime series, each brought their own visual flair to the table but were not without their share of critiques.

With Studio Eclypse's fresh take on Berserk, fans are hopeful for a captivating and faithful adaptation that pays homage to the manga's legacy while delivering a visually stunning experience. As the countdown to May 2024 ticks on, the anime community eagerly awaits the unveiling of Berserk: The Black Swordsman's trailer, ready to embark on a new chapter in this epic tale.
