Durante el evento Otakon, realizado este fin de semana en USA, se realizó un panel con representantes del estudio Sunrise, en el cual se dio a conocer que el próximo proyecto animado de Code Geass se retrasará hasta 2012 porque aun se encuentra en producción.
Masayuki Ozaki, gerente general de desarrollo de Sunrise fuera de Japón, dijo que este proyecto transcurre en el mismo mundo de Lelouch, pero con diferentes personajes, agregando que se podrán ver en el anime diferentes países de Europa. Ozaki se refirió a este proyecto como “nueva temporada” de Code Geass, ante una pregunta sobre el status del spin-off de esta serie (Code Geass Gaiden: Bôkoku no Akito), mencionando a Kazuki Akane (Escaflowne) como director del mismo.

spoilerMasayuki Ozaki, the General Manager of Overseas Development at the anime studio Sunrise, confirmed that the studio is "looking forward to releasing" the new Code Geass anime project next year, although its production is behind schedule. During Sunrise's industry panel at Otakon on Sunday, Ozaki referred to the new project as the "next season of Code Geass" and noted that its director is Kazuki Akane (The Vision of Escaflowne, Noein - to your other self).
Ozaki described the project as taking place "in the same world as Lelouch [the protagonist of the earlier Code Geass anime] except with different characters (...) the stage is set in Europe, so we'll see a lot of European countries."
The Code Geass Gaiden Bōkoku no Akito project was announced in April of last year. The side story is set in the European warfront, where a Knightmare unit made of boys and girls from Zone Eleven is sent into a military operation with a 5% chance of survival. They must rescue an allied unit left behind on the European warfront. Apart from Akane, the credits include Shigeru Morita (Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, Blood+), with Takahiro Kimura once again adapting CLAMP's original character designs for animation (as he did for the previous Code Geass anime). Akira Yasuda returns to design the mechanical Knightmare units.
