Recently the official Twitter account of Highschool DxD twitted on September 30th that, all episodes of the Highschool DxD will broadcast on DAY 3 of Nico Nico Kadokawa Festival 2022. Some rumours were also spread that Highschool DxD is getting a new season in probably 2023. Now these rumours are hard to confirm because there has been no update from the official anime site since 2020.
However, on the 14th anniversary of Highschool DxD serialization, the author of the highschool DxD light novel Ichiei Ishibumi informed that, more manuscripts have been confirmed for Highschool DxD Hero Part 2.

The first 3 seasons of Highschool DxD were published under TNK animation studio but in the 4th season, the anime studio swapped with Passione which made most of the people mad so much that it encouraged fans to sign the petition to bring old-style back. As for the 5th season, it is not yet decided if they’ll keep the old designs or not. As for source material, fans do not have to worry a bit because till season 4, only 10 volumes are adapted out of 25 volumes including short story collections and spinoffs.
It is expected to see the anime will progress in a mature direction in the new season if it actually happens. If things go out all ok, we may get adaptation of volume 11 and 12 in season 5 which will feature the middle-class promotion test that will pair with the ranking used to denote the ability of a devil. So that would be all. Let us know what you guys think in the comment section.
