News on the upcoming season has been relatively light ever since, but it seems fans will be getting an update on how it’s all coming along in the near future.

The latest issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump not only revealed a new visual for the fourth season of the series, but also teased that fans will be getting an even more notable update with the next issue.

As noted by @haikyuu_en on Twitter, new information for the fourth season of the series will be revealed with the 36-37 issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump releasing August 5th in Japan. Unfortunately there are no details as to what kind of information will be revealed, there will most likely be an update on potentially returning cast, staff, and other smaller details. But what fans are really hoping for are release window or even a concrete release date from the new season. But only time will tell!
