Shoji Kawamori stated at the " Flying Dog 10th Anniversary Live 'Inu Fes'" event in Tokyo on Saturday that he is aiming to release the new Macross Delta anime film in 2020.

The "Walküre Senjō no Premium Live Event at Toyosu Pit" had announced the new film in September and described the film as "entirely new" — as opposed to last year's Macross Delta the Movie: Passionate Walkūre ( Gekijō-ban Macross Delta: Gekijō no Walkūre ), which compiled earlier television anime footage with some new sequences.

The 26-episode Macross Delta television anime series ran from April to September 2016, after a preview of the first episode in 2015. Gekijō-ban Macross Delta: Gekijō no Walkūre opened in Japan in February 2018.

Macross Delta has also inspired several manga series, a novel, and a PlayStation Vita game. The in-story idol unit Walküre also performs as an idol unit in real life, and the group holds live events.
