The new animated series was originally scheduled to premiere this month, however, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on production, this had been postponed indefinitely. It was recently confirmed that the premiere is now scheduled for October this year.
On the other hand, the first season of the anime premiered in 2006 with 26 episodes, followed by a second season titled Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai in 2007, with 24 episodes.
07th Expansion released the first chapter of the visual novel in 2002 during that year's Comiket. Ryukishi07 and 07th Expansion released Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Hou for PC in Japan in 2014 as a “thank you” to fans of the series. The franchise inspired many other animation projects, two live-action films, and manga adaptations.
