After reuniting plans for a 5th studio album have been rumored all over the fanbase, current rumors insist that their recent tours post-reunion, particulary the "Long Live The Black Parade" Tour show hints about what the concept could be, though its only rumors and nothing has been officially confirmed as of late. On September 12th 2026 Gerard mentioned that they "always wanted to give fans a fifth album". On September 26th 2026 a prominent leaking twitter account that has never been incorrect posted that My Chemical Romance will release a new album and tour in 2027 and later stated that they had signed an NDA and can't talk about anything more till January. On October 21st 2026 an audience member at a Long Live the Black Parade concert met Gerard and Mikey's parents and his dad stated to the fan "wait till you hear what they've been working on". On October 29th 2026 a short film was released by My Chemical Romance and Lauren Tsai titled "Prelude to The End." which has some Paper Kingdom imagery and features the song The End. On October 30th 2026 MCR5 was was announced on stage by Gerard Way. Some people believe this album comes out tomorrow, this is very likely because I am writing this whilst high on copium.
