Saga City will publish the second illustration from its ZOMBIE LAND SAGA collaboration on September 2, 2026, at 12:00 JST. The first image appeared on August 26 as the opening entry in a three-visual series announced by Saga City and reported by Crunchyroll News.
The campaign keeps a weekly schedule
So far, the rollout follows a simple rhythm: one illustration at noon each Wednesday. The September 2 post arrives exactly one week after the first, giving fans a confirmed date for the campaign’s next update.
- August 26, 2026: first illustration published.
- September 2, 2026, at 12:00 JST: second visual scheduled.
- Three posts: total format announced for the collaboration.
Saga City has not revealed what the second image will depict. The content of the third visual is also undisclosed, so the announcement establishes the timing and scope of the campaign without adding a new story element or confirming another character appearance.
A local partnership tied to the franchise
Saga City is the capital of Saga Prefecture and the main setting of ZOMBIE LAND SAGA. On July 10, the city and the film’s production committee announced an agreement intended to highlight the region and support local revitalization through the anime. These illustrations are the first visible content associated with that initiative.
The project continues an established connection between the series and Saga. Its 2 television seasons were released in 2018 and 2021, followed by a film in October 2025. The new images reinforce the franchise’s local identity, but they do not announce another animated production.
What the September 2 update confirms
For ZOMBIE LAND SAGA fans, the concrete news is the date and time of the next illustration. The collaboration links Saga City’s real-world identity to the anime through a limited series of public campaign images, while the franchise’s broader status remains unchanged: no new season, additional film or upcoming broadcast is attached to this announcement.
The third visual’s release date has not been specified. The next confirmed milestone is therefore the second illustration on September 2 at noon JST.
