Is the Tokyo Ghoul Remake Visual Real?

If you use a lot of social media, you may have noticed a highly popular image being widely shared. This is especially common nowadays when famous Twitter profiles are leaking (often accurately) anime announcements.

The image in question is a poster claiming that the anime Tokyo Ghoul will have a remake set to premiere in 2025. The visual is stunning and very well made:

I’m not sure which page the screenshot above is from—it was simply shared in our WhatsApp group (by the way, join our Discord here). As you can see, it has 400 reactions, 95 comments, and 63 shares.

Is the Tokyo Ghoul Remake Visual Real?

N. has a Twitter profile where he enjoys creating fan art that mimics the style of anime announcement visuals. For example, he made this one for Kagurabachi:
