This surprise announcement was made during the 'Ultraman Zero 15th Anniversary Grand Finale' event held at 'TsubuCon 2025,' filling the venue with immense cheers and excitement.

Ultraman Zero, who first appeared in 'Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie' in 2009 as the son of Ultraseven, has been a popular character active in numerous works since then.

This announcement is currently at the 'production confirmed' stage, with no specific release date yet mentioned.
