According to the latest announcement from the official staff, Kingdom season 6 will begin its broadcast on NHK General TV in Japan starting October 2025, i.e., in Fall 2025. Yet, a narrower release date has yet to be revealed. Along with this announcement, the staff unveiled a teaser visual. The illustration depicts Shin holding the spear that Ou ki entrusted him with.

In the previous installment, the Qin Army took control of the Koku You Hill and used it as their base of operations against Zhao's army. Thus, Kingdom season 6 will focus on the Qin vs. Zhao battle. Interestingly, Qin formed an allied force with three armies led by Yang Duan He, Kanki, and Wang Jian.

Likewise, Shin, Mou Ten, and Wang Ben led their troops to take part in the war as independent mobile troops. Undoubtedly, they will play a major role in the upcoming installment. At the same time, Shin has taken Ou Ki's spear and marched out onto the battlefield. Therefore, Kingdom season 6 will showcase a fierce encounter as the Qin Army will showcase its might against Zhao's troops.
