There are speculations that the "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 release date will finally happen this year.

Crossmap reported that, although Studio Pierrot and FUNimation have not made any official announcements regarding the "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 release date, fans believe that the next installment of the series will air this summer.

It was rumored that the "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 release date would happen last winter or spring. Currently, the speculations are for a summer 2016 launch.

According to JobsNHire, FUNimation president Gen Fukunaga confirmed the anime's upcoming return this year. No specific release date was given, though.

Some fans want the "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 release date to bring a story that follows the written series. However, it was noted that there isn't enough material from the manga to cover a full season.

The "Tokyo Ghoul:re" manga only had 43 chapters as of Oct. 2015 and only a few chapters were added after. It is speculated that some filler content will be added in the upcoming installment of the series.

However, this will mean that season 3 will once again stray from the manga's plot.

Moreover, the focus for "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 will reportedly be on Touka Kirishma. It is believed that she will act as Kaneki's partner as he recovers from amnesia.

FUNimation president Gen Fukunaga hinted at the "Tokyo Ghoul" season 3 release date for this year. He also announced a mobile game for the series.

"Ever since we began simulcasting the anime series last year, fans of 'Tokyo Ghoul' have been clamoring for a mobile game," he said. "With Season 2 now finished and Season 3 set for 2016, the anticipation for the game has only grown higher."

The Bitbag added that a mobile game will definitely be available soon for "Tokyo Ghoul" fans. However, its release date is still unknown. The "Tokyo Ghoul" game stemmed from the fans' insistent demands.
