TL;DR: Tower of God hiatus status is clear on Naver, which labels the series 휴재. English WEBTOON says “Tower of God will be back!” but lists the Season 3 finale as its latest entry. AniList says RELEASING; none of these pages posts a return date.
Reviewing
Tower of God
SIU · WEBTOON
As checked on October 8, 2026, the Tower of God hiatus has no confirmed return date on either official series listing. The English WEBTOON page carries the note “Tower of God will be back!” and ends at [Season 3] Ep. 235 (Season 3 Finale). Naver Webtoon's Korean listing marks the series 휴재. AniList's catalog field separately says RELEASING, so it should not be read as proof that new episodes are currently appearing.

This is a status update, not a reading-order guide or a verdict on the story. For where to begin and how the English listing is organized, see the Tower of God reading guide; for an editorial assessment, see the Tower of God review. Here, the useful answer is narrower: what each live page says, what it does not say, and how to avoid mixing their labels.
Key Takeaways
The shortest reliable answer is that Naver's Korean page labels Tower of God 휴재, while English WEBTOON shows a return notice and still lists the Season 3 finale as its newest entry. AniList separately reports RELEASING. Those records do not provide a confirmed return date, and their episode counts should remain platform-specific.
- English WEBTOON's latest visible entry is [Season 3] Ep. 235 (Season 3 Finale), dated Feb 23, 2025.
- The English page displays the notice “Tower of God will be back!”
- Naver Webtoon's Korean page displays 휴재 and lists 총 653화.
- AniList's literal status is RELEASING; its
chaptersfield isnull. - The English listing's
#652and Naver's total of 653 are separate page displays, not a reconciled universal count. - Neither official series page gives a return date in the live snapshot checked on October 8, 2026.
Overview
This page is a dated snapshot of the status evidence, not a prediction. It checks the English WEBTOON listing, the Korean Naver Webtoon listing, and AniList's catalog record side by side. Because the pages expose different labels and counters, each value below stays attached to the source that published it.
That distinction matters for readers searching “is Tower of God still on hiatus?” A platform episode list tells you what that edition currently displays. A catalog enum is a separate metadata field. Neither source, by itself, explains why the records differ, and neither should be silently rewritten to match the other.
The current evidence also gives two different ways to follow the series officially: the English WEBTOON listing and the Korean Naver Webtoon listing. The links are direct, and the status claims below are limited to what those pages show. If an episode or notice appears after this snapshot, the official page itself is the place to verify that change.
Tower of God hiatus: what the English WEBTOON listing shows

The live English WEBTOON listing names [Season 3] Ep. 235 (Season 3 Finale) as its latest entry and dates it Feb 23, 2025. The same page displays “Tower of God will be back!” It also shows “UP EVERY MONDAY,” but does not attach a new episode date to that schedule label.
Screenshot: English WEBTOON Tower of God series page, October 8, 2026.
The episode entry includes #652 beside the title. WEBTOON separately calls the entry Season 3, Episode 235, so the safest wording is to preserve both labels exactly as displayed. Do not turn #652 into “652 episodes in Season 3,” or treat it as a new-release count. The listing does not explain the relationship between the two numbers.
The word finale also needs its qualifier. WEBTOON labels this entry “Season 3 Finale.” That is not the same text as “series finale,” and the page's return notice points in the opposite direction from an announcement that the whole story has ended. It still does not say when the next episode will arrive.
There is a small but important mismatch between the page's routine label and its actual latest-entry date. “UP EVERY MONDAY” appears as series-page metadata; the episode list itself has a dated latest item from February 2025. Without a newly dated entry, the routine label is not a return announcement and cannot support a current weekly schedule claim.
Tower of God hiatus: what Naver and AniList show
Naver's Korean listing marks the series 휴재, shows 총 653화, and identifies its latest item as 3부 235화, dated 25.02.02. AniList's record instead literally returns RELEASING and chapters: null. These are different source fields, not one reconciled status or episode total.
Screenshot: Naver Webtoon 신의 탑 series page, October 8, 2026.
The Naver page's latest entry is displayed as 3부 235화 with the date 25.02.02; that date is February 2, 2025. The same page says 총 653화, meaning its listing reports 653 episodes in total. This is the Korean platform's count, not the English WEBTOON page's #652 index.
AniList identifies the same title as Tower of God and returns RELEASING in its status field. Its chapters field is null, so it does not provide a chapter total to compare with either platform. The status value should be reported literally. It does not erase Naver's explicit 휴재 label or create a return date that the series listings do not show.
Because the two platforms show different date and count displays, this article does not guess at a cause. It does not subtract one counter from another, assume that one page includes a bonus episode, or infer that an update is underway. The responsible comparison is simply: English WEBTOON's visible entry and page index; Naver's own total, latest entry, and date; AniList's separate enum and empty chapter field.

How to compare the episode labels without mixing them
Use the platform name every time you repeat a number. For English WEBTOON, quote the latest title, date, and adjacent #652 display. For Naver, quote 총 653화 and the 3부 235화 entry with its own date. For AniList, give the enum and chapter field separately instead of converting them into a platform episode count.
That source-first habit prevents three common reporting errors. First, “episode” and “chapter” are not interchangeable labels across these pages. Second, a platform's total count is not necessarily the number visible in another language edition. Third, RELEASING in a catalog does not mean an episode was posted today. The actual date must come from the release page.
If you bookmark the series, save the language edition along with the date you checked. When returning to the page later, compare its newest dated entry and notice with this snapshot. A changed banner, a new episode title, or an official dated announcement would be new evidence. A fan prediction, an unchanged weekly label, or an unrelated catalog field would not establish the return date.
For the series' reading order and platform basics, the Tower of God reading guide is the better page to use. This article is deliberately narrower: it tracks status evidence and does not replace the guide's start-point advice or the review's story verdict.
Where to read Tower of God officially
The official English listing is on WEBTOON, while the Korean original is listed on Naver Webtoon. AniList links to both platform pages from its Tower of God record. Choose the page for the language edition you read, and use that page's own episode title and date when checking for a return.
- Tower of God on English WEBTOON: the English episode list and return notice.
- 신의 탑 on Naver Webtoon: the Korean listing, with its own hiatus label and episode counter.
- Tower of God on AniList: a catalog record whose status field is RELEASING and whose chapter field is blank.
The English page's UP EVERY MONDAY label is not enough to promise a weekly return. For now, follow the official page for the edition you read and check for a newly dated entry. The numbers in this update come from the publisher listings themselves, not from a third-party episode summary.

What is not confirmed about the return
Neither official series listing checked for this update gives a calendar return date. WEBTOON's exact message is “Tower of God will be back!”; it does not name a month, day, episode number, or reason for the pause. Naver marks the series 휴재 without a date. AniList's RELEASING value also contains no schedule.
The Season 3 finale label does not confirm that the entire series is over, and the return notice does not confirm when publication resumes. Those statements can both be true: the latest listed season has a finale label, while the page says the series will be back at an unspecified time. Nothing in the pages reviewed here establishes a new season's production status or a reason for the hiatus.
As of the October 8, 2026 check, any exact return month or date should therefore be treated as unverified unless an official page or announcement supplies it. This update intentionally does not repeat community predictions, but the wait itself is a real topic among readers. In an r/TowerofGod thread titled "Season 4", the original poster writes: "I’m honestly getting tired of waiting for Season 4."
Embed: r/TowerofGod discussion thread "Season 4", a reader post, not an official source. A future official episode listing with a publication date would be a stronger signal than an estimate copied from discussion threads.
Our Take: which status label should readers use?
This take rests only on the three official records quoted above. There is no single label that can replace all three sources. Naver's Korean page explicitly says 휴재; the English WEBTOON page shows a return notice and an older latest entry; AniList's catalog enum says RELEASING. Report each value with its source, and do not infer that one of them proves a new episode or a scheduled return.
For a practical “can I read a new official episode now?” check, use the relevant language edition's dated episode list. For the series' hiatus label, preserve Naver's own Korean wording and translation. For a database status, quote AniList's enum exactly. This keeps the reader informed without pretending that the sources agree.
That is also why this status page is separate from the site's reading guide and review. The guide helps with title, order, and where to start. The review assesses the reading experience. This page answers a time-sensitive question using current source displays, with no forecast attached.
Frequently Asked Questions
Advertisement
The official pages answer the current-status question more clearly than the return-timing question. Naver labels the Korean listing 휴재, WEBTOON says the series will be back, and AniList says RELEASING; none of these page fields gives a confirmed date for the next episode.
Is Tower of God on hiatus?
Naver Webtoon's Korean listing currently displays 휴재, the Korean label for hiatus. The English WEBTOON page carries a “will be back” notice and shows the Season 3 finale as its latest entry. AniList separately says RELEASING, so these labels should not be collapsed into one claim.
When will Tower of God return?
No return date appears on the official WEBTOON or Naver series listing checked on October 8, 2026. WEBTOON says the series will be back but does not specify when. A precise date or month would go beyond the evidence on those pages.
What is the latest English Tower of God episode?
The latest English WEBTOON entry shown is [Season 3] Ep. 235 (Season 3 Finale), dated February 23, 2025. The page also displays #652 beside the entry. Keep that index separate from the season episode number because the listing does not explain the relationship.
How many Tower of God episodes does Naver list?
Naver Webtoon's page says 총 653화 and displays 3부 235화 dated 25.02.02 as the latest listed item. That is Naver's own Korean page display. It should not be substituted for WEBTOON's English episode label or index.
Why does AniList show RELEASING if Naver says hiatus?
AniList's status field literally says RELEASING, while Naver's series page says 휴재. The pages do not explain the difference, so there is no verified reason to give. Treat AniList as a separate catalog field and check the platform listing for dated episode availability.
Is Season 3's finale the series finale?
WEBTOON calls the latest entry “Season 3 Finale.” It does not call it the series finale. The same page says Tower of God will be back, but does not give a date or describe what season or episode will come next.

How We Checked This
