The third period, 2013-2016, begins with the album The Mystery of Time and ends with the forthcoming release Ghostlights.In a May 2014 interview regarding Edguy's then latest album Space Police: Defenders of the Crown, Tobias said that The Mystery of Time hinted at a possible sequel.The new album, entitled Ghostlights, will be released on January 29,2016.
