The first 2016 issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine (cover shown right) is announcing on Friday that a new anime adaptation project of Kentarou Miura's Berserk manga has been green-lit. NBC Universal will unveil the anime's first promotional video at its winter Comiket booth, which will run from December 29-31. The announcement did not note the format of the anime (TV, film, OAV, etc.).
Miura comments in the magazine that the anime project will depict Guts in his "Black Swordsman" appearance, which is only revealed in parts of the manga that go beyond any previously animated Berserk story, and is only briefly hinted at in the first and last episode of the 1997 television anime series.
Also: Manga to go on hiatus until summer, with series being published irregularly

The linked picture has a direct counterpart in the Conviction Arc: Chapter of the Lost Children from Vol.14 Chap. 97/98. The arc named "Black Swordsman" is in Vol. 1-3 but our protagonist is obviously named after it. Vol.1 and half of 2 need a bit of a remake, to be honest. Guts is wearing the wrong armor in the picture for the Conviction time frame. The absymal 3rd film technically ended with him putting on the "right" armor.
