Kadokawa has confirmed the release date of The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya. The company will publish the new light novel on November 29, 2024. The announcement also mentioned that the release will be simultaneous worldwide. That means the light novel will be available in at least Japanese and English at launch.
The announcement also came with new illustrations of Mikuru Asahina and Yuki Nagato by Noizi Ito. This title will appear as the 13th volume of Nagaru Tanigawa’s Haruhi Suzumiya light novel series, which first launched in 2003.
The story will continue straight off from the 12th volume—The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya—which came out simultaneously in Japanese and English on November 25, 2020. The four-year gap will be shorter than the one between The Intuition and the two-part The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya novels, which took nine years since the latter’s releases in 2011.
Kadokawa initially revealed The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya in late September 2023. While the company confirmed that the new light novel has been in the works, it did not provide a release window back then. The release date was finally announced in almost a year after the first reveal.
The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya will be available worldwide on November 29, 2024.
