Although the three-part anime film series will have recaps, Sunrise announced that they will also add fresh scenes in the film. According to Anime News Network, all the cast will be recording again their lines for the new three-part anime film series.
Furthermore, Sunrise has announced that the first film of the three-part anime film series of "Code Geass" will be released in 2017. "Code Geass" fans should mark their calendars now and watch out for more updates in our next article.

As the title of the third sequel suggests, fans can expect a resurrection in the new sequel. "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection" is yet to unveil how Lelouch will return to the series.
