Making a show where the characters get trapped in a game of life and death has pretty much become a trope. We’ve got Squid Game, Tomodachi Game, and a hell of a lot more, but Darwin’s Game: Season 1 particularly was an anime released in 2020 that stood out for its quirky and innovative setting.
The anime left things just as the more sinister hordes of players, and ruthless ones at that, were introduced. We even got a glimpse of the infamous game master who had been pulling the strings all along, but sadly, that’s where the show ended. As for Darwin’s Game: Season 2, no word remains on when the series will return, but here’s a rundown of everything you should expect.
When Is Darwin’s Game: Season 2 Coming Out?
There’s unfortunately no release date for Darwin’s Game: Season 2. While there may be plenty of reasons why, a major one appears to be that the anime’s production company isn’t as quick to produce shows because they’ve only made a single new one since the anime ended.
Despite Darwin’s Game being a hit of 2020, it still hasn’t been renewed so far. Luckily, there are a ton of manga chapters that continue the story, and that’s cause enough for anticipating the series’ renewal.
What Is Darwin’s Game: Season 2 About? (Spoiler Alert)
The first season adapted the events up till Chapter 30 of the manga, although it did leave out a couple of major plot points. Where things are heading on from here on in Darwin’s Game: Season 2 is going to be obvious if you still remember how the anime ended.
The game master has finally revealed himself to Kaname, and that’s a giant leap in progress from where the story began. Kaname’s Sunset Ravens have also started making a name for themselves, and in the manga chapters that follow, their victories in games keep on increasing along with their fame. Especially due to the “Hunting Game” arc coming up next which has the players of the game kill normal humans as well as other players in order to rake up 10000 points.
Which Studio Is Making Darwin’s Game: Season 2?
Among the stellar anime like Chainsaw Man and Spy x Family that released in 2022, The Eminence in the Shadow received a lot of praise for its art style. Its studio, Studio Nexus, also happens to be the same one that animated Darwin’s Game back in 2020 as well.
It isn’t confirmed whether Studio Nexus will animate Darwin’s Game: Season 2, but so far we haven’t had any reason to doubt.
Where Will Darwin’s Game: Season 2 Be Aired?
It’s been a really long time since the show last aired, but if it were ever to return, then Darwin’s Game: Season 2 should be available to stream on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu upon release. As for anyone hoping to watch it on Netflix, the service does have a large anime library, but most of them remain region locked, so it’ll be a game of luck.
Studio Nexus isn’t known to create a lot of anime as they’ve only animated about a dozen shows since being founded. In fact, they’ve never made a second season of any of their works — yet, anyway. Hopefully, they break the cycle soon with Darwin’s Game: Season 2.
