You can read a translation of the announcement below.

“Message from the original author, Mr. Fujino Omori

Who would have thought that the fourth season of the anime would start after the Divergent Arc?

At least, the original author never imagined that we would reach this point.

It will be a new chapter with more battles, violence, and dungeons than ever before.

And will there be more heroines in Danmachi?

I can’t wait to see more male characters in this series!

Before Hestia gets a hole in her stomach!

The adventures of Belle and her friends are just beginning!”
