New World is an immensely successful novel that has over 2.5 million copies in circulation. It is an incredibly cliche story with an overpowered protagonist. While overpowered heroes can be interesting, it does not work very well in this novel.
It’s just another online game-turning reality trope. However, this series keeps things interesting by adding new stakes to every battle, which eventually led to its success. Now, this series is receiving an anime adaptation, and here’s all the information you need in your quest to watch it.
Shinogi Kazanami’s “The New Gate ” light novel series is all set to receive an anime adaptation in 2024. The website revealed the anime’s teaser visual, main cast, and staff members.
The teaser visual of “The New Gate” features the three main characters, Shin, Raizar, and Tiera.
The artist of the light novels’ manga adaptation, Yoshiyuki Miwa, drew an illustration to celebrate the announcement. The commemorative illustration also features all the main characters.

New World features the story of Shin, the strongest player in the online game THE NEW GATE. He has defeated his greatest enemy, Origin, and then, a new door suddenly opens.
Shin is transported into the online world 500 years after the game is cleared. The online world then becomes Shin’s reality. This is a cliché plot line that has been used multiple times.
However, this series has executed the story well, which makes it engaging. You can try watching this anime if you enjoy the “online worlds becoming a reality” trope.
