The fourth and fifth seasons were announced during the Symphogear Live 2016, and the fourth installment titled "Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ" was released in 2017 and aired from July to September.

A manga adaptation was also serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's "Newtype Ace" magazine from 2011 and 2013, and subsequently published into three collective volumes. Bushiroad has also developed a smartphone game titled "Senki Zesshou Symphogear XD Unlimited," which was released last year in June.

The series tells the story of a girl named Hibiki Tachibana, who ends up with a piece of a powerful Symphogear relic, known as Gungnir, embedded in her chest. This comes as a result of one of the Zwei Wing idols, Kanade Amou, sacrificing her life to save Hibiki from a villainous alien race known as Noise.

Hibiki eventually awakens the power of the Gungnir relic and is now fighting alongside other Symphogear wielders to protect the innocent and take down those who would dare use the Noise for their evil intentions.

Japanese animation studio Satelight will still be animating the upcoming sequel series. It is, however, not yet confirmed if Katsumi Ono, who has directed the three previous seasons, will return to direct the fifth season.

More information about "Senki Zesshou Symphogear XV" is expected to be released in the coming months.
